Burn out; fatigue of war in Ukraine and without even an inkling on Saturday 7th October HAMAS launched sea land and air assault on ISRAEL, they have taken over 100 Israeli hostages and people from other countries visiting Israel. Geopolitics has hit a whole new dimension and the war weary world will have to engage. Ian Bremmer (Eurasia) has made an essential point and that is the power of social media to mis-inform and the fact that being algorithms driven, misinformation, false, information, data, photos etc. puts it to people to learn enough to try to understand what is happening and separating propaganda. This is yesterday’s posting. I was too disheartened to publish. World at War – these are dangerous times. This is a mix of a limited contribution of the usual daily routine of X, YouTube, links, quotations relating to Ukraine war and its invasion by the Russian Federation. Sadly it looks as if Ukraine will be placed in second place! Israel, HAMAS and the Palestinians and a war with many trajectories will be the news. Ian Bremmer is worth watching (see links below). We need to have a foundation of what is happening and we need to discern truth from propaganda and mis-information.

– Capturing kids as hostages – Slaughtering 200 (!!!!) people at a live music fest – Decapitating POWs – Raping and mutilating women, even foreign nationals – Cheering such things as acts of valor I’m kinda losing hope in our species, folks.

Chechen leader Kadyrov expresses his support for Palestinians & calls on Muslim counties to abet the Palestinians. He also sounds like he is on drugs. Or perhaps dying. Or both?

Putin finally makes his first comments on the Israel-Palestine war. He says it’s “a clear example of the failure of US policy in the Middle East” for not “taking the core interests of the Palestinian people into account” and working to create an independent Palestinian state.

Last week, Russia launched a missile strike on a cafe in the village of Hroza, killing 52 people who were attending a Ukrainian soldier’s wake. Some villagers say one of their neighbors may have tipped off the Russian army about the event.

Thank you Google: but it is necessary to look to coincidence, origins hence these few sentences.

On October 6, 1973, hoping to win back territory lost to Israel during the third Arab-Israeli war, in 1967, Egyptian and Syrian forces launched a coordinated attack against Israel on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.
