I’m reluctant to start a sort of “mansplaining” from my historical perspective, but I entered kindergarten in 1958..polio vaccine? GLAD to get it..but “duck & cover”, hide under a desk to wait for the Russian bomb to drop on NYC, and spread nuclear shock waves and dust all over us was the fact of life growing up..How nice for my kids,and everyone else’s, not knowing that fear, not being scared of Moscow’s threat at the U.N. in 1961 of “We will bury you!” screamed by a frothing Nikita Khrushchev banging on the ambassadors desk with his shoe..THAT is what Vladimir Pukin wants to go back to? I quote Josef Stalin-”Not one step back!”At 69 yrs. old, and with two bum knees,bad back, & neck, if I didn’t have a disabled son to care for, I’D be on a plane to Ukraine to drive the Rashists from Uke land, ALL of it,even though I can’t run to retreat, I can shoot straight enough to sit my ground to drive them out. I protested Vietnam as hard as I could,which wasn’t hard enough I admit. President Biden knows just how we all grew up in nuclear fear, and having to hear threats to the U.K., France, U.S.A. ON TOP OF Ukraine? Do they teach history still? Doesn’t anyone remember that WWI ended when the U.S. pulled our troops out of Russia in 1922 after fighting for the White Russians? That’s 101 years that Moscow has spied,and tried to disrupt the free world to replace it with a fascist WORLD...101 years is plenty of time to figure out that they cannot be worked with, nor trusted in their current state.. they wanna nuke us? After 70 years of that, tell them to come “n get it. Stop being so cautious and give them the ass kicking that would put a SANE person in charge, since as a people, the Russians can be world citizens,and good ones. BUT NOT WITH PUKIN ( ur another dick-tater) IN CHARGE, he and his ilk have TO GO! And you only stop a playground bully by BEATING HIM! Sorry to take you back to peace, love,& Woodstock, but it seems to be left out of the new curriculum in out schools..purposely, I believe, to have a docile electorate that feels it is correct to trade land for peace,just as Chamberlain thought would placate Hitler in 1938. Don’t learn from history, and you are bound to repeat it. Sorry to bore y’all, but it hurts to sit and say nothing. Peace out, y’all, AFTER we kick enough ass to GET some peace. Bbobbybee.
