They were comfortable with each other. They were friends…

Yes it is a movie and it is an interesting concept…

This morning at 2:30 a.m., just as the world was getting lighter and lighter, to allow me to see with some clarity. I was sipping my morning cup of coffee just standing in the road. I heard a noise, or should I say several noises? I stood very still on the road next to Nikolai’s Home and listened. My brain said kitty and we have plenty and they like to sneak around…

Then from the opposite side of the home area, a big hound dog, whom has been wandering for the last few months as a stray, trotted through and down the driveway. This is a very large dog…

My eyes were focused upon the dog and in my peripheral vision I saw a shadow moving…

Very dark, almost bordering upon black in the light that was available, a fox was scurrying to keep up. The fox it seems had stopped to smell something and the hound dog was long legged moving at a good pace. I stood and watched…

The fox accelerated and caught up with the dog. The dog looked down at the fox as they kept moving down the hill on the road after exciting the driveway. I could see this was a normal path for them. And the fox settled in at the dogs pace to the dogs left side. Oh for a camera…

Down the hill they went like two silent breaths of air. They literally glided and it was interesting to see the easy lope of the big dog and the fast moving legs of the fox to keep up. The fox I realized was a deep dark chocolate brown color. The dog was German Shepard multi colors of brown, black, whites and tans…

I stayed put and did not move and watched. They got to the bottom of the hill and stopped and turned. They both looked at me, they knew I was there, probably smelled me more than saw me. It was a hundred meters or so and they tried to see friend or foe?

Then the fox pushed his head against the side of the hound dog and the hound dog looked down at the fox and they turned and took the road to the cemetery in the woods down below. They stopped once more at the crest of the hill and after one last look at my way, they disappeared from sight…

I kicked back the last dredges of my now cold coffee in my cup I held. Waste not want not!

And surmised…

They were friends. At least friends of convenience and friends of necessity. The fox ran at the dogs side, almost touching the dog. They were comfortable with each other…

They were friends…

Will the process of circling the drain by humanity, ever change?

It seems that since the beginning of time for us humans, we circle that dreaded drain of life and we will swim ourselves to semi-safety and then in a repeat of the past allow ourselves again to circle that drain until it looks like we will be sucked under, in the swirling water…

I wonder why we cannot stop jumping into the water and quit getting caught in the whirlpool as it tries to take us under…

The interesting thing about the world is how our technology doesn’t stop history from repeating, it just speeds up the processes that repeat continually. Instead of hundreds of years to collapse everything? Tech has allowed realtime stupidity to become predominantly fast moving in its effects…

I can attest to the fact that “Man” is never more alive than when he is at war. Is that why we always fall to war?

I will not get into the psychology and sociological aspects of such a thought, but it is true and while terrible, nothing brings the best and worst of Humankind out, like war…

Everything else we do is boring, mundane and in that triggers war, eventually…

War is part of circling the drain of life. Without war? I suspect that we would just go with the waste water and have to see what is on the other side of the drain?

Maybe war is the way we drag ourselves from the whirlpool of the cesspit?

Humans are very hung up on being better than animals and yet, we are just that, animals. Maybe that is what we have to overcome? That fact that we are animals with a higher brain function and we should be able to put two and two together and know it is four. Except, 2 + 2 = WAR…time and time again!

Don’t ask me why everything in the animal world is fighting. Two male Elk go at it for who is the toughest and gets the girl(s)? – Who leads? The rooster will kill all males born at some point. Humans play American Football to get to the Super Bowl! Two countries fight over a few kilometers of border? They attack each other like they own the land? Just like ants and one colony stumbles upon another, it is war dude!

We are just animals!

I could try to tell you that we humans are so superior? But, that would be a lie. Us humans are just smart enough to screw the world up…

We own nothing, anymore than the whale swimming in the ocean. We own nothing anymore than the ants in an anthill. The world belongs to all living creatures upon the planet earth…

We only have what we possess as an animal. The need to mate, build a nest and war. War is what we accomplish everything with…

I watch the little birds in the yard. Pair up, nest, lay eggs, feed protect babies and once babies are flying?, start over. My birdbrain that I talk about, a Wagtails, has had five little ones, now she is feeding the second batch of five more. That is ten babies this summer so far. I call that a very successful mommy bird…

Papa birdbrain? He protects. I have seen him attack Fatcat and papa is fearless. The birdbrains fight little battles everyday. Just to mate, nest and have babies…

Exactly the same as a birdbrain, all we humans have to do and embrace. Life is that simple actually…

Humans seem to ignore that our lives are naught but a battle. We live under little battles everyday. We use tools to get the upperhand over our foes. If we fail to follow the rules of being an animal? Such as mating, nesting and protecting? We will fail to survive. Then we have war to put everything in semi-order…

Humans are and should be able to embrace the circle of life. Even a whirlpool type existence. But something is missing within the human genetics and it causes a huge misbalance of mental stability…

Technology is just another tool. The same as handing a stick to each of two people and telling them to kill each other…

May the best stick win…

I watch for Russia’s response to this asinine move by the west…

These are the games the west plays. Then the west cries like a baby when they get slapped. All over their own actions…

VILNIUS (Reuters) -Lithuanian authorities said a ban on the transit through their territory to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad of goods that are subject to EU sanctions was to take effect from Saturday.

We shall watch and see…

Kaliningrad is Russian territory and I suspect that if the EU doesn’t watch it. A land corridor will be made…

No matter what the west thinks about it…

When you weed the garden? You got to look for bad bugs and bad snakes!

My grandma taught me to weed the garden…

She said: “When you weed the garden? You got to look for bad bugs and bad snakes!”

I was taught earlier on the difference in good snakes and bad snakes. The same with bugs…

But, She was telling me that you have to be aware of your surroundings. Don’t be so absorbed in a single train of thought, that you miss the Viper hiding in the strawberries…

My grandma also said that the same applies to life…

I am telling Russia: think about what my grandma said…

American Mercenaries in Ukraine, running for their lives…

The car with the Americans is running away deep into Ukraine, away from the line of contact with Russian troops.

A reporter from the States spoke about the losses among mercenaries and the Armed Forces of Ukraine…

The author of the video talks about the wounded man: “Hold on, we’ll be there soon. Wounded in both legs, bleeding, we need to cut the clothes higher and see if there is bleeding anywhere else.”

It is worth noting that American mercenaries often avoid a direct and long fire contact. It is more important for them to record video reports and then quickly leave the hot spot. Therefore, they rarely record such videos as this, only in a state of adrenaline fear…

Normally the Americans are posting fake videos about set up and fake information. This group, is somewhat lucky, hundreds of Americans are dead already. Being and American does not give any blessings in this war. Russia sees them as war criminals and illegal. Thus, Americans are trophy kills. Just like when they capture huge American arsenals of weapons. Trophy time…

Information about the successful promotion of the united group is hushed up by the Ukrainian media. It is understandable, because before the West you need to paint a favorable fake picture. Or not be allowed to post anything…

But the fact remains. This group almost met the Grimm Reaper and a couple more of them might yet. One definitely met his maker, shown at the very end of the video…

They met their maker on the battle field and are now running for their lives…

Americans, since Vietnam have no idea about war at this level. Russia is a superior war machine and Ukraine is serious business to the Russians…

All Americans need to get your asses out of Ukraine. We have no reason to be there. If we (Americans) are, we are war criminals. The issue is that these men are paid to be there and being paid by the USA GOV…
