The Rus Continue to Attack Civilians in Ukraine

   So, Mad Vlad and his Kremlin gang target public transportation-buses loaded with passengers getting to work and getting home from work. Defenseless civilians. This what Russya is all about these days. Stymied by the defense establishment in Ukraine, totally lacking manpower and equipment, the Russyan army is out of options excepting the possibility of scaring innocent civilians. Oh, and we have not forgotten the kidnapping of children by Little Green Men in the DonBass Region.

   Those millitary units will be uncovered and their soldiers and leaders will be held accountable for their crimes against children. What nation other than uncivilized barbarians capture children, remove them from their mothers , and enslave them in a foreign land? 

   So, we have a modern nation; an educated nation, a nation with historical literary and artistic accomplishments of world class levels; but within this country are legions of madmen, ready to carry out the bidding of poisoned dictators. These children await deliverance from this imprisonment. The world waits for the Rus to return to civilization and give up its failed request to expand the borders of the largest country of the planet.

Riyadh Attacked: Where is the Saudi Military?

    So, Riyadh City airport is bombarded by missiles fired by Houthis in Yemen.  Certainly when an international airport is struck by enemy fire, a response is justified. Something wrong in Saudi Arabiaa. The government is living in an oil-filled bubble and it has been for decades. They have relied on foreign governments to provide security because the governments need the oil.

    What now? The price of oil is shooting upward again, followed by interest rates which together have crippled governments around the world including China, the USA, France, and more. Isn't it time to say enough already. Most of the Middle East crisis is fueled by Iran, a dictator's theocracy whose time is way past. Iran has provided the weaponry that has been used to destabilze multiple countries iuncluding now, Saudi Arabia. The Saudis sit around and bemoan the situation but because they've neglected their own defense, they lack the power and ability to strike back against the attackers on their doorstep.

   And now, as the USA stutters in its attempt to defeat Iran, the world watches. Israel is not in this mix other than its 3 year old war against HAMAS in Gaza, which shows no sign of ending in the near term. The Houthis want to remain a player in the region  if for no other reason than to maintain its position as an Iranian proxy. 

Cleveland Guardians Tie Playoffs With win Over White Sox

      So, a fifth game is required now after Chicago lost 2 in a row to the Guardians. What seemed like a sweep was in the offing, now looks like a run of 3 victories ccould eliminate the White Sox from the playoff cycle.

A devastating inning not only saw a lead evaporate, but it highlighted a 5 run lead late in the contest. Up 9-4 after 6 innings, the Cleveland team was all smiles as they went to the bullpen for high=powered pitching to close the game. Chicago answered with only one more run despite putting two men on with no outs in the bottom of the 9th.

   The fifth game will be played tomorrow in CLEVELAND. 

Historian Lays Out a Plan for EU Confronting Russya

       As Mad Vlad Putin careens down the lonely path to his own grave, historians believe that the Eu should be prudent in its plans despite the evidence that the Russian army in Ukraine is in a stalemate.

Lawrence Freedman is one of the most respected modern era historians and specializes in military historry and political decisions related to armed conflict(s). He has been awarded many prizes related to his written work. He is also an emeritus professor off history at Kings College in London. His book list his long and distinguished by its comprehensive coverage of the 20th century and early 21st century conflicts. He is unsparing in his exposure of the Russyan ability to cause disruption wherever and whatever it sees as a future interest.

      His recent writings develops a plan for the European nations to coalesce in recognizing the Russyan threat to the east, again.  As the Kremlin becomes increasingly fearful of losing completely in Ukraine, Putin & Co. will become more desparate in their attempt to avoid the inevitable defeat and humiliation.

The Plan

 First, Leaderss should call out Russya and tell the citizenry what's happening and the need to recognize struggles with the country and how they are best addressed.

Second, they must better defend against attacks in whatever form they arrive, stepping up intelligence gathering efforts immediately and rearming against possible confrontation along the borders,

Third, demonstrate that bRussyan efforts will fail and give more broad support to Ukraine right now. 

Third Anniversary of October 7th Attack on Israel

    It's been 3 years since Palestinian murderers attacked innocent Israeli citizens at a concert in Israel. The attackers were hell bent on creating mass panic, spreading terror far and wide. Women were raped and tortured; senior citizens were cut down by automatic weapons fire; helpless children were butchered where they fell. The unprovoked attack was well planned and executed to create fear across Israel. Additionally, HAMAS kidnapped men women and children to take back to Palestine to be held as hostages for future exchanges of prisoners.

    This was the start date of the war that has reduced Gaza and its residents to rubble. Gaza will never be the same; Palestinians will never be the same, nor will Israel ever be the same. No matter the situation as it stands there is no returning to "normal" in Gaza. Until HAMAS disarms, there will be no peace, and no life in GAZA.

      The grief suffered among the survivors continues to haunt them. Those who lost love ones will be traumatized for the rest of their lives. HAMAS and its leaders will be eliminated by Israeli forces until none are left alive. 

Remember October 7th:Never Forget 

Is it Boycott Time? Yet?Of Chinese Goods?

    So, the EU is meeting to chat about China's unrestricted dumping of their crap on EU markets. France is finally forced to get a grip on its own economy ass interest rates climb frther and Trump's War shows no sign of ending soon so fuel prices will continue to rise.

      China thinks production is the solution to their economy, avaoiding the obvious cause: the citizenry has no money to spend at home; they don't need or want any of the crap they make; the real estate market has tanked leaving many families destitute; and Xi JP is ill with unknown ailments. The Chinese military think they can run rampant over the Pacific Rim with impunity. That ain't happening, Mr. China. See Australia, Japan, S. KOrea, the US MArines, and, oh, Taiwanese military is hardening.

 

Yankee Go Home

    Well, the MLB season winds down as the teams ascend to the next level of play.  NY Yankees' season ended after a 3rd loss to Tampa Bay Stingrays. Good bye to All that.  The West Coasters in the form of San Diego also ended their season against the Beer Drinkers-Milwaukee's Team of upstarts from back in the Central US, wherever that is. The Pale SOx lost the clincher and will have to play another to move on.

Don't forget the next series-League Championships will precede the World Series.
