The American Griftocracy has grifted all it can off the Ukraine War, which Russia is obviously winning, so they're cutting their losses and moving on to a bright, shiny, new, and potentially very profitable war, starring its old friend Israel.

It's not working very well; Israel's just so...OBVIOUS and enthusiastic about doing a genocide. Even Democrat shitlibs are repulsed by this one, so we'll probably see them talking about defending democracy in Africa or somewhere else there are profitable minerals to extract in the next few months.

I don't know what I really got out of all of that but it was not much worse than other sorts "news" reports and it seems to have at least attempted to warp up the month of November. So I convey my limited appreciation for the wrap up of things I knew already and things I did not and things I thought were true but now are true --- entirely because I have now heard it twice.

Having now rendered my thanks to you oh great writer, what may I add to it as my own? What I am thinking of is that, at the beginning of all this the big attraction to Ukraine was that they were a country sincerely -- sincerely -- moving on down the path to democracy and Russia, those utter bear-like foolish men, were trying to stop that march of progress. But as time went on I didn't see any indication of Ukraine as a newly formed democracy. Where did the county bravely moving towards democracy go? I am seriously wondering now whether that march toward democracy stuff was even true as all! Another thing I wonder is, if Ukraine is marching towards a brave, Western-facing democracy as I had thought, why do official sources rate it as the most corrupt country in the world or something? Another thing I notice (bringing my observations up to three) is that, when you get right down to it, Ukraine looks an awful lot like Russia. What am I saying? I don't know, just that maybe there are some things starkly different but other things that are similar. I am still in favor of a free, democratic Ukraine. I mean, eventually. It just sounds like such a nice idea, doesn't it? There is so much more to say, but -- Sorry. Out of time.
