27th August, 2023. “Juice”, Ukrainian pilot is dead, a true loss to the fighting forces. I am changing priorities today to recommend quotations concerning the 1970’s – the Cold War. Then there will be the tweets, youtube and maybe some links.

“Let us reexamine our attitude toward the Soviet Union. It is discouraging to think that their leaders may actually believe what their propagandists write… No government or social system is so evil that its people must be considered as lacking in virtue. As Americans, we find communism profoundly repugnant as a negation of personal freedom and dignity. But we can still hail the Russian people for their many achievements.”

John F. Kennedy, US president, June 1963

————-

“The USA and USSR have a special responsibility… to do everything in their power so that conflicts or situations will not arise which would serve to increase international tensions. Accordingly, they will seek to promote conditions in which all countries will leave in peace and security and will not be subject to outside interference in their internal affairs.”
Memorandum from the Moscow Summit, May 1972

A good reminder that with every Ukrainian advance, every Russian defeat, calls will increase from Putin’s sycophants and propagandists for “ceasefires” and a supposedly frozen conflict that only benefits the Russian invaders.
