Wars and rumors of wars

History's tyrants have at least one thing in common - their willingness to destroy and slaughter anything and anyone who stands in the way of conquest. This is not new.

Putin's folly

Watching the Russian invasion of Ukraine a few things became quite evident. For one, the rot in Putin's Russia has been unmistakably exposed. Everything which has unfolded so far has been botched and frankly I don't see a way for him to recover. I suspect his days as czar are numbered as the people realize the emperor has no clothes.
