"Next question: Do the American people trust Washington and, if not, what are they going to do about it? It’s disturbing that so few Americans are paying attention to cascade of lies they’re being fed:"

Our media, from the big networks to the large news organizations, bear the largest responsibility and shame of whatever is coming for us. Yes, our government is lying to us, but it wouldn't continue if news organizations would alert the country to the danger of continuing this lie, this insanity of continuing to fund and arm Ukraine.

Instead of worrying about a war that they aren’t warned is escalating toward nuclear insanity, I think Americans are preoccupied with the demons reshaping our daily living right now. I read a long article you pointed us to yesterday by Rod Dreher 'The Shadow of One Dark Wing', along with links to another sobering article about the poison and death our culture seems to be gliding towards. I was going to say march, but that implies people are eager for the corruption, as well as our acceptance of prevailing national policies, and gender/queer/LGBTQ/sexual maiming, and other lies shaping our children. I think instead our society is gliding partially unaware toward a meeting with the demons behind the war on innocence of our children led by monsters teaching in our schools and high academia. Of course, our society is lazy, but our society's parents are also busy working, making ends meet, fighting to finance cell phones for their children they believe are an integral and important part of children's lives now and often unaware (of the fact I read) that by nine years old those same children have watched pornography on those phones. Parents have a myriad of important battles to fight now -- from corruption by school boards and lying teachers to physicians who insist on jabbing those children with dozens of vaxxes. I wouldn't want to be a parent of a young child today, it's hard enough to have watched the horrific outcomes of the three years of the pandemic and what happened to high school education for our older grandchildren.

I try to take heart that there are strong men and women telling us the truth and fighting the corruption, there just seems to be not enough of them.

Having German tanks in the Ukraine is a great way to forever poison Russian German relations.

It is alleged by Swiss publication NZZ that the US approached both Kiev and Moscow with a peace deal in mid-January that would have ceded 20% of Ukraine (roughly the territory controlled by Russia now) to Russia.

It was rejected by both sides.

I'm not concerned that so few Americans are paying attention to cascade of lies they’re being fed. The government should be concerned. Nobody cares. I am concerned at a telephone conversation last night with my nephew, who knows EVERYTHING. He told me that Putin will be deposed, possibly assassinated shortly, that the Russians are losing monumentally and have morale and supply problems. I can safely assume he reflects the thinking of those in charge. If so, this conflict will never end. It has become a war of attrition where both sides feel they are gaining and inflicting damage to the enemy every day. Why not continue? Or probably it will end, not with a bang but a whimper.
