War
I’ve seen the scars of war on my uncle. I’ve watched two wars on television. I’ve lived through the Cold War. Never have I felt a World War could be on our doorstep. It is scary — very. Yet we are still protected somewhat by an ocean. Imagine the people in Europe, those who lived through WWII or those who lived through, or didn’t, the Balkan Wars.
“War, what is is good for? Absolutely nothin’! (Strong and Whitfield, writers. Sony/ATV publishing).
Remember that one. As I write this Putin and his thugs are invading Ukraine. People, men, women, and children have already died. So too soldiers and airmen. This is the real McCoy. Intelligence tells us Putin is on his way to Kiev and intelligence hasn’t been wrong yet. Thus along with the battle and the deaths will come a massive emigration/immigration deluge. People are already sleeping in subway stations and subway cars. This is just the beginning. For the Ukrainians the truth is Muhammed Ali’s. “No place to run. No place to hide.”
