Putting things into perspective - by the numbers.

 Putting things into perspective - by the numbers.

You can research the exact numbers I'm posting, but these are very close.

There are many reasons I'm not in favor of any involvement in the Ukraine war, monetary or otherwise.

Israel, I'm leaning more in favor.

Instead of listing those reasons, let's just stick with the numbers.

Ukraine population is estimated at 39,535,849

Russia population is estimated at 146.0 million

And what is Europe's population?

It is estimated at 450,131,902

This is not our war! This is a European conflict. Ukraine should be turning to its European neighbors for help.

Now, let's look at Israel.

Israel population is estimated at 9,647,689

Arab countries surrounding Israel: 350-480 million!

Israel 9,647,689! , and out of this number, how many are children, elderly, disabled, and even though many women are drafted, women. So that 9,647,689 gets much smaller.

Who do they turn to?

So, are you against this war because you want cheap oil? Anti-Israel? Antisemitic? Foreign entanglements? (which is a farce, another post to tackle that) Or because Israel is so small, they don't matter? Or are you worried because this could lead to WWIII?

I say defend Israel for many reasons, which is also another post to tackle at a later date.

Just look at those numbers once more and then decide, but just don't run with the soundbites being tossed around.

Propaganda repeats itself or is it history?

 Propaganda repeats itself, or is it history repeats itself, or maybe it's both?

The moment this conflict with Russia and Ukraine started, all the networks left and right started with the Putin is the bad guy, character assassination was in full play.

Then what followed was a maternity hospital was bombed, followed by a children's hospital shelled followed by a school was hit, (Would any army target these areas? Maybe I am naive, but I don't think so) then a mosque was struck. Forget about churches; Christianity doesn't have radical followers like Islam, who quickly get into a feverish pitch and retaliate for any offense towards their beliefs; let's rouse the masses!

Even with all this, something else was missing to get America and the world ready for war. Ah yes, a hostage. All crises need a hostage or two. So they have the perfect hostage, a black female athlete; this should make everyone angry enough to retaliate against Russia.

We have seen this type of reporting before, weapons of mass destruction, hospitals and schools bombed, hostages held by a brutal dictator.

I am not saying this isn't what is going on, but I am also not dumb enough to quickly fall in line to buy what is being promoted and broadcasted daily.

So then the real question is, is this history repeating itself, or is it propaganda being repeated, or maybe its both?

Its going to get interesting.

 I wrote this on April 24, 2017, you can find this full article if you search this blog.

...So not in the least bit has President Trump’s current actions regarding Syria have surprised me. President Trump said repeatedly during his campaign he was going after ISIS, so again no surprise. But the big question is do we really know what is going on in Syria? Does President Trump really feel he is doing the right thing or is he being manipulated by the new world order to further undermine and destabilize the Middle East to cause a major war? Is this why the media keeps on thrusting Russia at us to start that war?

It has quieted down somewhat because of all the current events but it infuriates me all this ridiculous talk of Russia interfering in our election. I believe it is just an evil ploy by the establishment to get Americans irritated with Putin. From what I understand Putin has thumbed his nose at the new world order. He wants no part of it. However he does want to stay relevant globally and to be recognized as such. So this is what I am concerned with.

The establishment new world order crowd will keep prodding and kicking the Bear with the Bear finally having enough to retaliate against America in some way. Could we be seeing this in Syria as the real reason for the air strikes to get America and Russia to go at it?...

That was in 2017. Today the world is at it again but this time the focal point is Russia and Ukraine.

So I still firmly believe there is far more to this story than Russia just going into Ukraine to annex more territory.

Something else I wrote quite a few years back when I asked who is the real evil? Everyone said China. I said nope, Saudi Arabia. Keep an eye on them, they have been very quiet and almost out of the spotlight but they still have two weapons - lots of money and OIL.

Its going to get interesting.
