The war in Ukraine is about to enter its 3rd year with no signs of ending, meaning more deaths and destruction for this unfortunate country. It was provoked by those in the U.S. who decided to use Ukrainians for their geopolitical gains which is sort of innovation in military affairs contrary to the U.S. wars … Continue reading “Ukrainian Tragedy That Might Escalate Into Armaggedon”

Zelensky’s fame and glory in the West are indisputable, and his rise to celebrity status is remarkable.
