Posted by Recommend this article … Original Child Bomb by Marian Wright Edelman, written May 2018. https://www.childrensdefense.org/child-watch-columns/health/2016/original-child-bomb/
….When it comes to nuclear, anything written to halt its use or veiled threats of use should be read and understood. Xi Jinping, China, meets with Putin, Russia but G7 member Japan’s Kishido meets with President Zelenskyy in Ukraine. Trappist Monk Thomas Merton’s poem Original Child – all 41 verses is essential reading now, as the world, is told by the Doomsday’s Clock movement forward of seconds closer to midnight even since 2018 concerns all people, especially the young who are to inherit the earth, as death is the leveller and inevitable for all.….

Today’s Quotation:
“The same year that “Original Child Bomb” was published, Thomas Merton also wrote this in the essay “Nuclear War and Christian Responsibility”: “. . . there can be no doubt that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were, though not fully deliberate crimes, nevertheless crimes. And who was responsible? No one. Or ‘history.’ We cannot go on playing with nuclear fire and shrugging off the results as ‘history.’ We are the ones concerned. We are the ones responsible. History does not make us, we make it—or end it.””

The Kremlin has used #NATO’s 1999 intervention to justify Russia’s continual assaults on Ukraine, and won’t miss the upcoming opportunity to exploit this further.

What do visits from Xi & Assad say about Russia’s clout beyond the former USSR? How will ICC arrest warrant for Putin affect Moscow’s standing? Is Prigozhin losing influence as the Wagner’s losses mount in the battle for Bakhmut?

Putin has no other use for the Russian people and despises them. Like every dictator, he fears them far more than any foreign power. He doesn’t need an educated or content population to pump oil and gas.

1/ Moscow students are reportedly being handed mobilisation orders along with their diplomas, literally at the very minute that their exemption from military service expires. This is happening at the same time that Russia is reportedly seeking 400,000 new soldiers.

Unlike Putin who skulks around in the dark well behind the frontline in embarrassingly staged events, today #Ukraine‘s president Zelensky is in the Donetsk region where heavy fighting is taking place. He visited the frontline positions in the Bakhmut area

Zaporizhzhia. Right now, residential areas where ordinary people and children live are being fired at. This must not become “just another day” in or anywhere else in the world. The world needs greater unity and determination to defeat Russian terror faster and protect lives.

PARIS I am not following the situation in France , but I am watching the reaction from Russia . Russian Government and it’s proxies’ Telegram is delighted by the unrest in the French capital. Whatever brings division or disorder in the West brings joy to Moscow

Lavrov said that Russia will take into account the possible supply of shells with depleted uranium by The UK to Ukraine. What do you want to do, grumpyface? Send T-34’s?

Russia began its winter offensive in late January. Russian forces have attempted to advance in several parts of the front while making minimal gains. In some areas like Vuhledar, Russian forces have suffered far heavier losses than Ukrainian forces.
