========== You probably never heard of or cared about Moldova, just as your great-grand-parents never heard of or cared about the Sudetenland. By the time they heard or cared, the Nazis were in Warsaw and heading to Paris, and stopping them was much more costly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudetenland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_for_our_time It's just the same in Moldova and Ukraine. Putin talks peace and cease-fire but he means pause while Russia regroups, recruits, and rearms for the next invasion. Putin's aims have not changed. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/23/opinion/moldova-russia-ukraine-war.html And it's the same in Gaza. Hamas talks cease-fire but it means the same as Putin's. Hamas aims have not changed - after all, the ayatollahs that fund Hamas have always dreamed of the destruction of Israel, expulsion of Israelis, removing western influence in the Middle East, and finally removing the Sunni leadership from the Moslem world. And of course the political-military-cultural rivalry between Persia and Arabia goes back way before Islam. https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-gaza-war-f756cc054732eb3f7e0c49a9987560a0 Hamas tactics haven't changed either - by embedding in the Gaza civilian population, they insure that horrible civilian suffering will accompany any serious attempt to get rid of Hamas, and they count on that suffering to cause the rest of the world to get Israel to back off while Hamas regroups for the next round - and more civilian suffering, until their aims are achieved. Many American college students think we are in a Vietnam moment. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/04/25/campus-protests-columbia-divestment-voters/ They're wrong. It's a Sudetenland moment. It's complicated because Netanyahu's coalition - and thus his political power and perhaps his keeping out of jail - depends on a minority that really want the expulsion of all the Palestinians. Most Israelis and Jews and westerners rightly condemn that small powerful minority - but as we have seen in the US House, a tail of a dozen Freischutz representatives can wag the whole government dog. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/04/25/moldova-russian-politics-ukraine-invasion-europe/ War is not the answer. But neither is passive acquiescence to those leaders who think war will make them immortal in the memory of mankind. #PS1ukraine ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2024-04-25 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title You probably never heard of or cared about Moldova, just topic ukraine wordrate 14 words 323 epoch Lifetime ID 825442499630360 impress 14 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "04/25/2024 17:04" reach 13 title "Opinion | If Ukraine falls to Russia, Moldova knows it’s next" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/825442499630360 ========== No peace for our time! It didn't work for Chamberlain with Hitler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_for_our_time And it won't work for Trump with Putin https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/05/trump-ukraine-secret-plan/ Walking away from Ukraine is walking away from the rest of the world. And maybe from Alaska too, since Russia used to own that. Back in the 60's the Birchers were always asking Who lost China? https://teachingamericanhistory.org/blog/who-lost-china/ Soon their ideological heirs will be asking Who lost Europe? And then Who lost Taiwan? And they'll find a clever way to blame it on Democrats instead of the Putinist-Trumpist-Dixiecrat GOP. For now, the world's strong leader dictators await the results of the November elections. Although they want Trump to win, they know that the critical outcome is whether the Freischütz Caucus maintains or increases its strength and ability to block any and all legislation, and thereby remove the United States from the list of world powers. It's the obstinacy of Jeannette Rankin - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeannette_Rankin without her moral underpinnings and utterly without her desire to be right rather than re-elected. #PS1ukraine ===== impact 17 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2024-04-07 ratio 8 react 1 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 1 title No peace for our time! topic ukraine wordrate 1 words 166 audclicks 1 epoch Lifetime ID 813714164136527 impress 8 matchedlinkclicks 1 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "04/07/2024 06:04" reach 8 title "Inside Donald Trump’s secret plan to end the Ukraine-Russia war" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/813714164136527
