This isn't WWII and I'm not Chruchill,
But, we have Russia invading Ukraine, just like they supported Bashir al-Assad in Syria as he decimated millions of his own people,
But hell, we invaded Vietnam, before that Korea, the Philippines, and we have in our own country human abuses, our treatment of America's native souls, our enslavement of people of African descent, and then the Jim Crow laws that kept them down as a race, for the betterment of noone.
Now, we can't fight back against Putin's illegal war because they have nuclear weapons. It seems as though Putin's Russia can do whatever they like against Ukraine.
Where is the profile of peace in this dilemma?
Assad knew this, he knew the US was messed up, it has nothing to do with military strength, so too did Putin.
The US spent so much time in Afghanistan sending money to Pakistan leaders who in the end supported the Taliban,
and everything the US did in Afghanistan didn't matter since nobody really cared about their tribal nation, it was never discussed because those people there have no real significant voice even if people tried it just never was.
We find ourselves on the edge once again, it's the same old story of the small guy, someone like Hamilton who comes from an impoverished island, someone who is neither all white, or all black.
Someone who thinks through the problems, when there is too much to absorb for the multitudes. And where is there to be, what is there to decide, and who is the room when decisions are made?
Is now the time, what does that mean, the time for what, nobody knows.

(302 posts)Now is always the time to reclaim something that was never yours or anyone else's.
If there is no right from any wrong, why do so many people suffer,
What is the Royal Scam:
Cold, daring, nothing clear, is what I see.
I think we're too weak, back when my grandfather fought in WWI,
we are too weak.
Long before I think, we are too weak.
The purpose is to seek who we are.
Now is the time to reflect.
These people
all of us, the generations who spewed fly ash
We were stuck ignorant to what our hard work
created, we did not know, we were ignorant,
but them's the facts that is.
So where is justice, what does it mean?
It's not the only injustice
But that should not lighten the load
to direct action that is required
that is, if you want to posit
a positive goal of moving forward
This Royal Scam we were apart of,
did hold ramifications towards the future
of all.
