War with Russia

Millennials to Gen z might not remember, but many of the older ones grew up thinking the world would end in a nuclear War with the then USSR. After Afghanistan, Iraq , here we are, close to war with the Russians.

The RT lovers think that we are to blame for expanding Nato and generally rubbing the USSR's face in the dirt after they lost the cold war...and to be fair, they are part of the truth

The War hawks think that Putin has tried to return the USSR, and also threaten the EU, which is mostly led by Germany. They think Putin tried to install trump as a Puppets apparatchik. They have part of the truth.

The whole Truth is that the idea of peace is eroded, in part by those on all sides who want to exchange the order of the last half century for something, anything, as long as it pleases their egos.

The rest of the world will not b content as Pawns. Yes I do mean China, but I also means parts of the Americas, Africa, and others who frankly are sick and tired of "christendom" tryin too fight over who Jesus likes best.

That is part of the the truth tooo, because the last person who gets a say is Mother Earth, and all thsi war is a distraction from the fact that we need to work together to survive, even if we hate each other. THAT is the whole truth.

Especially when some paint a Halo on Che who kept trying to use those weapons on the US, p[art of the reason Castro sent him away so he could die in a blaze of glory.

the Generals and Admirals were pushing Pres. Kennedy hard for an invasion after the shoot down of the U-2, but USAF General Curtis LeMay told Pres. Kennedy that airstrikes on Cuba could wait for a few more days to give diplomacy a chance.

Not many know that Gen. LeMay wanted to give Pres. Kennedy a little more time to de-escalate the crises.
