European Reprise

Ze French, they are haughty Kremlinites, vulgar, crude Le artiste charcoal sketches in the unvarnished nude Brits keep a stiff upper lip Pointy-shoed Italians think they are hip Ukrainians fight like the dickens their stockpiles reduced to slim pickens

"Ukrainians fight like the dickens their stockpiles reduced to slim pickens," no mind for pretenses, in the thick of it all. Give them what they need to win or get out, and stop just making the producers of weapons ever richer. Blessings my friend.

Give 'em what they need, Joe B! (Fat chance there, eh?!) Thanks, Joe D!

as are ours Gershon. I believe the house, senate, and presidential advisors should all read: "The Little Red Hen" and "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie"

Another cute one Gershon. I smiled right up to the last line. Then it got serious. We have to keep praying. During the American Revolution they took a pretty horrible beating too but they won. God Bless, JB

Ditto the British in WW2. Good point, Judy. Thanks for the reminder... And Ukraine has already taken a terrific beating, hasn't it? Many of its towns are in absolute tatters. But their spirits are willing!
