A quiet, foggy morning. I've been foggy lately and I'm sure it's the constant underlying stress of the times. Israel bombing Qatar, a US ally. Russian drones shot down over Poland's airspace. I wish I were capable of living in a rose colored bubble. I know there are some who read this who believe we are going in the right direction. I'm not here to change your mind. I know I cannot.
I was sick to my stomach last night when I heard about the Russian drones over Poland. The United States is seconds away from a devastating war. Meanwhile the Department of War went out for seafood.
ReplyDeleteIt is unnerving, Miss Merry. We are in a lot of trouble.
DeleteMy strategy for dealing with this sadness is daily resistance.
ReplyDeleteIt's good you have a strategy that works for you, Boud.
DeleteMen in power (and it is usually men) fight for more power...and the rest of humanity fights the wars for them...and suffers the consequences.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't have expressed it better, Rita.
DeleteThe world is in a kind of turmoil. The USA was never perfect, not even close, but I believe that they helped to keep things of a somewhat even keel.
ReplyDeleteWe have turned ourselves into a pariah, AC. My mind roils with too many emotions about this.
DeleteI haven't given up hope yet. Not everyone is rolling over and playing dead. I hope I'm not wrong.
ReplyDeleteI hope so, too, Cheerful. Whatever may stop this better happen very soon.
DeleteI find enjoyment in small things. For example the people IN the restaurant calling dumald what he is *to his face* That took courage in a time where people are being disappeared.
ReplyDeleteI watched that clip Ami. Under different circumstances I would say that is wrong. Not now. Not to a person who is a classless egomaniac. It was brave.
DeleteIsrael is fighting Hamas and they are a sneaky bunch. As for Poland...good for them!
ReplyDeleteIsrael is killing massive amounts of people in Gaza.
DeleteThe world is in chaos right now.
ReplyDeleteYes, it sure is Linda.
DeleteI'm with you! What happened today in Utah was one more heartbreaker. On top of that, ICE was in Rochester yesterday and in our town today. I feel surrounded.
ReplyDeleteThere was a school shooting in Colorado earlier in the day. A young teen shot 3 and then himself. ICE patrolling the streets of your village. That had to feel dystopian, Lori.
DeleteI have not been looking/reading/seeing the news for the past week, but did look at it last night. I am stunned and shocked. :(
ReplyDeleteStay away from it, Val. You have enough going on.
DeleteAnyone who believes the US is going in the right direction must have an odd idea of what's actually going on.
ReplyDeleteThere has been a very effective movement in the US which has been in place for decades. It has been effective. I read some of what they believe true and it is mind blowing, nick. Once someone has been convinced up is down and square is round, they can be told anything and it's fact.
