Parallel to the contrary.

This stuff that is going on in this world right now is a big part of the reason we are in the situation that we see today.

The mindless leadership is destroying everything from our freedoms to our own civilization.

Take the Iran war and the war in Ukraine. Ukraine is an ally which is being invaded by a dictator. Iran is not an ally, but is being invaded by a moron. Here is the parallel between the two countries, Iran and Ukraine? They both are not giving up without a fight and fighting for their country’s survival.

The contrary of Trump and Putin? One is a dictator and the other is a bully acting like a dictator. Both are of them are being embarrassed by the inability to see what others see and that is failure at the highest level possible. The parallel between these two bullies is they are psychopaths who are in it for one reason, power and dominance over the world.

In the end, they will never win. They can’t see themselves as “loser”. Thus, they will destroy themselves, the world and civilization more than ever before.

They say “the powerful one falls before the little man”?

Let’s hope this doesn’t destroy us first.

this and I feel Trump is nearly done, as is Putin. Neither knows what in hell they are doing and are on the verge of destroying their countries in order to show how powerful they are. But, the Russian army is going hungry and without supplies. Our defense is without a strong leader and appears weak.

I can't wait for the election. If the Dems win, as I hope they do, maybe this nightmare will be over.
