  DETROIT- HAMTRAMCK, SHOULD WELCOME UKRAINE’S REFUGEES U.S. and Ukraine flags aloft in SE Michigan President Joe Biden has pledged to admit 100,000 Ukrainian refugees in Poland and other NATO countries. It seems to be a very small number in comparison. Over 5 million have fled the barbaric Russian war in Ukraine. Poland alone has taken in over 3 million. Rafal Trzaskowski, the mayor of Warsaw, appeared on MSNBC  for an interview by Mika Brezinski .  Mayor Trzaskowski is appealing to step up and “share the burden” like Poland to meet the needs of refugees and resettlement.   There is a common-sense solution to the refugee crisis. As the United States comes to take in one hundred thousand refugees we stand to take in much more in Michigan. The number pales to that of Poland  which is taking on the largest relocation in Europe since the second World War. The city of Warsaw has grown thirty percent with 300,000 new residents. Poland is not only taking in, but we...

  THERE IS NO TIME TO SPARE   -SEND UKRAINE ALL THE WEAPONS THEY NEED NOW IT IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE NOT TO PROVIDE THE UKRAINIAN MILITARY THE MEANS NOT TO ONLY STOP PUTIN BUT WIN THIS WAR OUTRIGHT and reduce Russia’s future capacity for heinous crimes in the future. Russian tanks captured by Ukraine and pulled by farmer tractors are not enough At this moment Russia has taken a step back to reposition, reinforce and reconstitute the resolve with the addition of foreign mercenaries. The talk everywhere is that Putin plans now to focus on the Donbas and territory to the East. There is a decisive battle coming. The Western Allies know it.   We all know it.   Instead of four axis he will mount a single massive push to encircle the bulk of the Ukraine’s army and territorial defense force, then engage in a juggernaut until total annihilation. Putin’s new general will proceed in the scorched earth tactics to commit even more heinous crimes against humanity. Ukrainia...

 HOW WOULD A MAP OF THE RUSSIAN CONVOY   APPEAR IN YOUR STATE History is all important in understanding how the past affects the present. However, geography, topography, weather and culture play a huge part of our lives especially during war. Everyone should learn more than the basics of these disciplines if they are to understand contemporary events. If the young Russian troops are getting lost, the lack of geography must be worse than what is taught in our schools. Grayling, MI - 205 mile, full length of a convoy to Detroit   The column of the Russian forces assembled on Ukraine's border began to move south toward Kiev. Early reports estimated it was seven miles long. The  assessment of the strength seem to follow hourly. Additional trucks continued to join the column including weapons to inflict damage upon residential areas and murder private citizens. Satellite photos tracked a menacing force stretching 40 miles. Our military experts didn't hide the awe nor...

  A CALCULATED RISK -  UKRAINE MUST HAVE OUR AIRCRAFT NOW! In the run-up to WWII, America remained on the sidelines while Great Britain was suffering devasting losses on the continent. America was no mood to get involved with WWI still etched in their minds. The Republican Party were pacifists staunchly holding their ground. President Roosevelt felt impelled to help our ally across the pond. His administration became creative and employed the Lend-Lease Program. America then began shipping military equipment and supplies in coming to the aid of Winston Churchill and citizens suffering under the London blitz. Marine merchant ships delivered arms to them when not sunk by German submarines. Republican opposition continued to tie FDR's hands. What came next was more than remarkable, it was genius. Great Britain needed our aircraft if the isle was to survive. FDR's creativity and savvy led to a plan where US planes were transported to the Canadian border and literally "pushed...

TIME SENSITIVE ACTION REQUIRED: POLAND TO ANNEX THE LVIV OBLAST! POLISH NATIVE AND SPEAKING IN THE CITY OF LVIV ALLEGE GENOICDE, OPPRESSION BY UKRAINE'S NAZI ZELENSKYY REGIME Leaders of the Western Alliance are desperate to take immediate military action without violating Article V as  response to save Ukraine from the impending carnage by Putin's armored forces, including the universally condemned  "therma-bere" or vacuum  bombs and cowardly shelling of  civilian population in Kiev and other cities. And most compelling is the shelling of a nuclear power plant that may unleash horror as like to Chernobyl. The TIME is now for Western Leaders to find a prudent strategy to move troops, F-35s, tanks, javelin and stinger missiles long on back order by President Zelenskyy. Western allies are stymied by the logistics of moving weapons unseen by Russia. Delivery of lethal weapons for Ukraine's military is almost beyond the point of no return. The aircraft present in NATO ...

For KGB Agent Putin "It's All About the PASTA!"  - James Kennedy Or, it is definitely about the past. A youthful Vladimir Putin began his career with the KGB assigned to Dresden, East Germany as the Berlin Wall fell and East Germany opened to the W est. It did not sit well with this young nationalist and patriot.  In subsequent years, the Soviet Union (USSR) collapsed. Russia became... well, Russia but was no longer a superpower second to USA. It was a tragic and perhaps traumatic life event for the KGB agent. Putin had a "career" with the intelligence agency, but the life following is more adeptly seen as his ascent to President, now autocrat, or oligarch-in-chief.   Today there are numerous print and media articles presenting opinions as to what Putin will do or not do regarding Ukraine.  For twenty years American, British, French intelligence etc...have tried to get into his head with little or no success. He has aspired to keep all matters private and he ha...

THE WEST CAN STILL PLACE “PUTIN’S GAMBIT” IN CHECK  BY GRANTING UKRAINE STATUS AS A MEMBER OF NATO   2014 Russian Incursion un the Crimea It will be a strategy that NATO will deem as over-reaching, naïve and dangerous but will put Putin and Russia in check. NATO must expedite Ukraine's  application to join the western alliance  and put on a path to full membership. NATO could grant Ukraine as an affiliate member while approval is pending they offer military assistance as an affiliate member. A move to grant Ukraine emergency status and place under the umbrella of military protection in support of a legitimate sovereign nation. Sorry, President Putin all of your claims and demands are now rote. There is little doubt that the original members will deem this move as “unfeasible” and a risk they are not willing to take. History will record the action unprecedented and controversial in the Post-Cold War era. However, these are not ordinary times and Russia’s aggre...
