Podcasts, videos, books and articles of the week 131 - Lay back and try and enjoy it
President Zelensky must have the worst political job in the world, The stress wiykd have killed many a lesser man.
He has no easy or good choices, I wouldn't be able to do what he has done and does every day.
I think there's a good chance he will be assassinated for 'betraying' Ukraine.
The minerals 'deal' is an atrocity because it gives up Ukrainian sovereignty over mineral rights. I should take a look at the Ukrainian constitution to see if this sort of treaty can even come into force without parliament.
This year is terrible for Ukraine. As predicted.
Worst. Episode. EVER.

Today,talked with Aspects of history about Putin’s War. I explained what a difficult place the war has reached and then I listened to the Trump-Zelenskyy presser! Global War just got hot and Ukraine dangled before Putin.

Communists!
There was a resistance with bloody battles 2 weeks after Hitler took power. The anti-Nazis were mostly identified (and written off) as “Communists”, a tool that has influenced American politics for decades. #historymatters #hitler100days #retropolis #100dayshitler #nazi #hitler #communist #redscare
