Two or Three Things Considered

 Considering the number of affairs going on in the world that are ligitimate public interests I will comment on just a very few. I believe the number of items is too large for all except a few pros with full time occupations skimming news and stats to recognize with much depth.

The invasion of Hamas into Israeli territory was notable. A music festival became a terrorists slaughterhouse and a vague war finding terrorists to kill followed. Yet the Ukraine conflict is an ongoing concern. Spending so much money to keep that war grinding on has perhaps diverted funds that might have been better spent in strengthening Israel's security as they are at the focus of regional terrorists visions as a shining turkey on a hill to slaughter.

Ukraine on the other hand properly belongs half to Russia. Never was a war easier to prevent or resolve after it started as that one. The west and especially the rich have forever lusted after Russian Ukraine and invent whatever excuses they need to justify conquering it through war and legal fictions. Proper minions like chess.com have been pro-Ukrainian and anti-Russian as has so much of the American left that follow the will of Bill and maybe British aristocrats to war for taking all of Ukraine and Crimea knowing that President Biden will deliver tens and even hundreds of billions to Ukraine including advanced weapons systems to keep the conflict going. A free society and actual democracy supports different opinions and ideas about which wars to fuel and which ones to demure escalation.

The war could be settle tomorrow with an armistace in place and that a permanent settlement of the conflict with normalized relations and demilitarization following swiftly.

A.I. is taking over the internet. Humans may have nothing to do besides argue with one another while A.I. moves the machines of production. U.S. Rep Jim Jordan seems destined to be the new Republican Speaker of the House; a forthright strait shooting individual. There may be a volcano readying to erupt, an asteroid making a close approach to the Earth, a rapid melting of the Antarctic ice sheet, an immanent recession, a radically better autobile batterry for EVs and so forth. Life in the U.S.A. is so interesting, and it snowed at higher elevations too.
