I remember when I was a kid there was a Pro wrestler by the name of Gorgeous George. Do any of you remember him? He was quite a character with flowing blonde hair, bobby pins and all. He would prance around the ring and was really a fan favorite. He also followed the script winning and loosing the matches according to script. Even back then everyone knew that pro wrestling was just a show with pre determined results, and yet his fans cheered him on as though it would make a difference in the outcome. It never did as far as I know.

We now have a president that reminds me a lot of Gorgeous George. He prances around making promises (or threats depending on how you look at it) to supply arms and munitions to the enemy of an out of control despot that paid his family’s criminal enterprises many millions, no one really knows how many that amounted to. BUT………. surprise, surprise, he is worse than slow about aiding Ukraine. He blusters about Putin being a war criminal and about the plight of the Ukraine people while he delays or denies military aid to them. He huffs and puffs……… but doesn’t deliver any more than he has to to keep up appearances…….. he tries to show that he is a supporter of Ukraine’s plight. NO MIGS FOR UKRAINE??????? Why not? Promise, but delay delivery of arms…….. WHY???? Do you suppose the fact that Russia, and a lot of the “experts” that were saying, in advance of Russia’s invasion, that “it would only take a matter of days to conquer Ukraine” has anything to do with the delay tactics? Uncle Joe most likely only had to agree to delay his response and support, long enough for PUTINS troops to sweep through and absorb Ukraine. Once the country was absorbed by Russia and claimed to just be part of Russia reunited all that would be left would be listening to the howls of the FREE WORLD screaming “you better not try that again!!!!”……….. again…….. remember Crimea? Yea……. right. With all the gnashing of teeth and screams of “you can’t get away with that!” and NATO howling about border integrity nothing would be done to undo what Russia had accomplished. Uncle Joe’s part would be short term. After all, how long could Ukraine hold out against one of the strongest militaries in the world? I guess Russia believed their own press reports on their own effectiveness and didn’t consider the resolve of a people wanting to remain free (however free they were). Most of the world has been surprised by both the resolve of Ukraine and of the UGLY BRUTALITY of Russia. “WAR CRIMINALS!!!!!”……. shout world leaders……. “Putin must be held accountable!”…… say the bystanders. Where were the “free” nations while Putin amassed his forces at the border of Ukraine? Where was the U.S.A.? We wouldn’t have had to fire any weapons……. just be there…….Oh…… thats right……. Putin had us in his pocket……. “just give me 4 days…. 6 at the most Joe”……… “remember Joe, you owe me!”………… “Hunter owes me……. I have the videos, don’t you forget that Joe”.

The atrocities that ARE BEING committed still, are being captured on video for the world to see! It is taking way too long for this to turn out well for Putin or Russia. Putin is running out of time and Uncle Joe is running out of excuses. One more example of evil personified. One that nobody can deny. The old Russian Guard (military) does not have many friends in the “modern Russia” and the new guard is resenting the price Russia is paying world wide for Putins dream of the USSR. Even Uncle Joe can only stall for so long, and the NATO nations know that they too are in Putins sights if Ukraine falls. This invasion is UGLY, immoral, and inhumane! I think that Putin will be stopped by his own people. The question is how and when.

Meanwhile Uncle Joe is prancing around the ring huffing and puffing…………. and throwing bobby pins to his fans. Even though they really know that it is all for show. I wonder where the people pulling the strings are? From the kitchen counter it’s………………
