A DATE THAT WILL LIVE IN HISTORY

On this date four years ago, Russia launched their full-scale invasion of the country of Ukraine. The term full- scale is an important term regarding the invasion, because Russia had been fighting a small-scale war in Eastern Ukraine since 2014, after Russia illegally annexed Crimea.


I am writing this post to remember those who have been killed fighting for Ukraine, and the thousands of Ukrainian children who have been kidnapped by the Russian military, taken to Russia, adopted by Russian adults, and in some cases forced to fight against their country of birth. I am also writing this post to in a way memorialize the significance of this data because something has changed in the world since that day in 2022, I also think in years to come the invasion of Ukraine will be remembered as the beginning of WW3.


The country of Ukraine is mostly seven hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, with three regions eight hours ahead. It was the night of February 23 in the United States when the invasion began, I remember watching a YouTube channel called Agenda Free Tv all of that day to track developments of the increasing signs that an invasion was looming, and that night I was scheduled to talk to a friend on Skype. Right before the conversation with my friend started Steve Lookner(the host of Agenda Free Tv) showed a post with a map that showed traffic backed up on roads coming out of Crimea, and the author of the post said he thought the backup was due to Russian tanks entering Ukraine on the highway.


When I talked to my friend, I mentioned the post described in the previous paragraph and told them it seemed likely that the invasion was beginning. After the call I turned Agenda Free Tv back on, and within ten minutes reports of airstrikes in the capital city of Ukraine started coming out.


I hope this post accomplished the stated objectives in the second paragraph. I will close by saying the future of the world hinges or the outcome of this war. If Ukraine wins, the free world will have the upper hand as WW3 spreads to other areas of the world, but if Russia wins the future course of the war will be very uncertain and ugly for the free world.

TWO HITLERS, WW3 UNDERWAY

 This post is going to be about an opinion of mine. As with each post that lays out my opinion on a matter it is based soley on history. The reason for this post is what took place in China over the weekend, and why I think it should be a warning sign to the world. Before I even get to what happened in China, and why I think it matters, most people are familiar with who Hitler is and the evil acts/decisions he is guilty of. I will mention second but first, you might read the title of this post and wonder who the second Hitler is I am referring to...Putin. The reason that I think Putin is a Hitler is not only because he is a dictator. Among many reasons that I think he is a Hitler is for the topic of this post, his ambitions in Ukraine and to a degree his actions exactly mirror the stated reasons for the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union. This will be important to remember when I state my opinion. Since I assume most people know about the evils of Hitler, let me state who I think th...

REASON FOR THIS BLOG

When I was a kid knowledge of two events shaped my interest in global events. The first event that I learned about was 9/11 and I first heard about it in 2009, The second event that shaped my interest and the first thing I tracked as it was happening was the Arab spring in 2011. Ever since I learned about 9/11, I have always paid increasing attention to big stories around the world and at home but have always been annoyed with media outlets selecting which stories to cover instead on simply covering events as they happen. I am starting this blog to cover events in a straightforward way as they occur and to give my insight to those events. When necessary, I will add historical examples that help form my opinion. In a world that seems to be on fire people need reporting and insight without an agenda.

WHO WAS RIGHT? DANGEROUS SITUATION

 I closed the last post by asking what if anything people thought would happen between the United States and Iran by time I write this post. I also asked if something did happen, which side would be responsible for it?. If you said that something would happen, and it would be the United States (I am not saying the U.S was wrong to do it) you you are right. Yesterday an Iranian cargo ship broke through the U.S. blockade and after ignoring orders to stop, had its engine room hit by rounds fired by the USS Spruance. The other development I wanted to address is, today the U.S. Embassy in Iraq warned U.S. citizens already in the country to leave immediately. It also urged U.S. citizens not to travel to Iraq. The reason for the  concern is terrorist groups in the country are said to be aiming to assault Americans. The situation is so unstable the Embassy has cautioned U.S. citizens that want to leave Iraq not to go to the Embassy in Baghdad, or the Consulate in Erbil.
