I pray it's all a show, that it never becomes anything more. Imagine what the world could do with all the money spent on weapons.
Sorry I posted this. For some reason I just had to. I want to avoid all politics. Hope no one is offended or too frightened.
Russia and Putin paint their surface politics as honorable, but the rust and filth underneath is there. I wrote a post about Putin: https://thecontemplativecat.blogspot.com/2017/10/blow-out-candles.html

So true. A lot of good could come from all the money spent on weapons. Such a waste.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you posted this. Unfortunately nothing wise or witty comes to mind. Playthings of war are never good things.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope saner heads prevail, although those are in notably short supply these days.
ReplyDeleteWar is a big machine and it makes a lot of money for many.
ReplyDeleteSadly many seem to forget, or ignore the fact, that so many are killed.
All the best Jan
