Things continue to be a Mess on this front. I'm watching with great concern the war in Ukraine as it's getting bloodier and bloodier with each passing day.

I'm also angry about the fact that out delicate international position prevents us from actually assisting in the fight against Russia. Because, we do have some of the most sophisticated defense weapons in the world, but we are not able to provide them for Ukraine's defense.

Because if we do, Russia will turn on us in force, and our defense and even survival is dependent on our activates in Syria and Iran. The one think we have learned, acutely,is that Israel can't expect or depend on support from the world, the US included, in case of a war with Iran.

Anyhow, it's painful for me, cause I really yearn to be able to help them. Politics are so dirty sometimes. They really are.

I am not sure if Bennet is still in a good negotiation position, but I pray he is doing something at least on that front.

Sigh

You're absolutely right. In my opinion at least, President Biden and his administration have done and will continue to do everything in their power to get us out of World War III safely. At least I hope and pray they can do that.

Also I think the resentment a lot of israelis from fUSSR have for Ukraine did not help. As well as Zelensky's tone deaf address to the Knesset. They are correcting their messaging so good for them.

He's been put in an exreme situation lately, so I might give him a pass for his extreme rhetoric.

It wasn't extreme but completely tone deaf. My understanding that Israeli side let his administration know about it and Ukrainian side has been actively working on adjusting their message.

DAILY QUOTE:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
