Ukraine

This morning there was nothing else on the news channels but Ukraine, which is understandable. I have two questions on this subject.

1.- Did all the Russian soldiers who entered Ukraine had face masks on?

2.- Did anybody at the border crossings checked if the Russians had their vaccinations? If not what other documentations they had. A machine gun is not an i.d.

It seems that the covid issue is now taking second place or did it entirely disappear? Politics, politics and politics.

This entire affair reminds me when in 1956 the Soviet army entered Hungary after the October 23 revolution. The Hungarians bravely fought the Russians but were obviously outnumbered. The international community supported the Hungarians but only in words. Nothing was done except useless demonstrations in large cities of the world.

The garbage Radio Free Europe kept broadcasting that "keep fighting, hold out, help is on the way, we are coming..." These false promises cost many, many lives. The international community had no desire to get involved with the mighty Soviet Union. And that was the sad truth,

Just like the international community has no desire now to confront the mighty Russia. Words are cheap. Promises don't cost anything. But when the sun comes up every country takes a stock of itself, its interests and decides what road to take in order to avoid a national or international calamity.

I read that the Hungarian Foreign Ministry requested the Russian ambassador to convey their objection to this war. I am sure that Putin is now shaking in his boots because Hungary dared to raise its voice. Putin does not care even when the US is complaining. Why should he care about other countries?

Trump said this could have never happened during his administration. Maybe so, but this is unfortunately not his administration.

Maybe Bidden should make Trump a special ambassador and send him to talk to good old Vladimir!
