The Russian army is not noted for their congeniality. There are already reports of them raping and killing Ukrainian women and girls. Any American mercenaries caught could expect little sympathy or could be used as propaganda for Putin and his generals. But for soldiers, adrenalin is the rush of combat, and Ukraine needs the help. I wish them the best and know there are volunteers from other countries going into the fight.

This is nothing new and the US is guilty as much as any country. At the beginning of Hitler’s rise, boatloads of Jewish refugees were turned away and sent back to die. Trump was just the latest to refuse Muslim immigration. And of course, the Southern border is still giving Conservatives sphincter issues. But then Europeans have been attacking each other constantly for centuries, with religion being the most common cause. This created massive mouvements of refugees from one country to another. When they weren’t fighting in Europe, they were fighting over the territories of native populations in the countries they expanded into. But those populations were never welcome to emigrate to the European countries that took them over. Life is not fair, never was, never will be.

And Massage Parlors are a hell of a lot safer than street corners and dingy motels.

Barnie2years comments on Feb 24, 2022:
The thing is, there are whiny people in every generation, just as there are successful people and barely getting by people. There are rich people and poor people and vast numbers somewhere in between. Those who meet a challenge head on and those who crumble at the first sign of a challenge. Those who are scrupulously honest and those who steal anything not tied down.
The biggest difference between generations is, in my humble opinion, communication. Our generation didn’t have social media, 24 hour news, hundreds of channels of talking heads, You Tube, video cameras in our pockets with instant access to send them around the world in seconds.
Our parents didn’t have television growing up like we did, many didn’t have electricity or indoor plumbing let alone a radio. Newspapers generally dealt with local news except for major calamities, and even then the news was a day or two, at the very least, old.
So when you see millennials or GenX or whatever kids posting rants and whines, just remember that they do not, except in the media represent all of their generation. And the fact that others want a better life than what you had is not diminishing your experience. We all had our own experiences that shaped our lives and continue to do so. Many of our contemporaries had as bad if not worse than what you did, many didn’t survive to even have a chance to do better.
Enjoy what you have, feel good about what you’ve accomplished on your own, and be thankful that you had the fortitude to push through. Not everyone in your circumstances might have done as well. That makes you special, not our generation.
And begrudging others their attempts at making their lives easier will never improve yours. One of the things I found most disturbing when I was a Union member, was when another Union went on strike to try and improve their contract, my fellow Union members would whine that the strikers already had more than we did, so they had no business trying to improve their lot. If early Union members had taken that attitude, sweatshops and abusive working conditions would still be the norm.
Sorry for the rant, love your spunk! 😁

Enjoy what you have, feel good about what you’ve accomplished on your own, and be thankful that you had the fortitude to push through. Not everyone in your circumstances might have done as well. That makes you special, not our generation.
And begrudging others their attempts at making their lives easier will never improve yours. One of the things I found most disturbing when I was a Union member, was when another Union went on strike to try and improve their contract, my fellow Union members would whine that the strikers already had more than we did, so they had no business trying to improve their lot. If early Union members had taken that attitude, sweatshops and abusive working conditions would still be the norm.
Sorry for the rant, love your spunk! 😁

Article By Putin ”On The Historical Unity Of Russians And Ukrainians“ KREMLIN.RU July, 2021
Barnie2years comments on Feb 20, 2022:
While I have been reading a history of Europe, including Russia, during the 17th and 18th centuries, one thing becomes abundantly clear, as it does in much of this treatise. Peace in Europe has never been tenable for extended periods of time. Whether it be religious wars, feudal wars, ethnic wars or civil wars, peace is temporary. Treaties are signed and broken. Agreements of one generation are tossed out by the next. Putin’s historical recap shows that he has studied the subject, and is an interesting read, since the actual history of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe is generally ignored in Western history classes. But his justification of the current standoff is no more correct than any other justification for war: they are all self serving, deadly and rarely stop at the stated objective.
I don’t see this ending well, the history of European conflict is not favorable to it ending well. And with the US playing “dare y’a!” only makes it into a saving face type situation which he can exploit to his own citizens. Hold onto your hats and hope that I am wrong!

Humans don’t learn from history, they just keep repeating it with different actors. Look for China to take on the role of Imperial Japan in the new world obliteration war.
Without natural predators and our ability to control natural disease, war is our only option at anything resembling population control.
