Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
I can't help spending my thinking energy trying to figure out what's in Russia's other hand. Just as the magician applies simulation or misdirection with one hand, the other produces an unseen object to the amazement of the audience. Just as a boxer feints with one glove, the other finds your nose.
Ukraine simply cannot be Putin's ultimate objective. This is tantamount to a steamroller passing over a bug, militarily speaking. This impending move by Putin is an obvious test to see who will bow up to him as he prepares some other plan.
That's all I've got on this thus far. It drives me nuts trying to figure out the end game. The bully is going to beat up the weak kid and dares the rest of the class to stop him. What's next?
p.s. Who wants to bet me that if the world does little to dissuade Russia's conquest of Ukraine, China snatches Taiwan?

Why do I like this one? I have a primary residence on the Mountain of Right.
Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
