Folly in Ukraine by Phil Anderson
Folly in Ukraine
Phil Anderson
“Today we face an avoidable crisis between the United States and Russia that was predictable, willfully precipitated, but can easily be resolved by the application of common sense.” Jack F. Matlock, Jr., U.S. Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987-1991
Once again, our government is meddling in another conflict on the other side of the world. Given we just got out of a disaster in Afghanistan, one would think we might be a little cautious about jumping into another no-win situation in Ukraine. But we are actively “precipitat...
Who Is the Aggressor? By Dave Svetlik
WHO IS THE AGGRESSOR?
By Dave Svetlik
Older Americans remember well the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 when the
US and the Soviet Union (USSR) nearly launched a civilization ending war
because the Soviets had placed nuclear missiles in Cuba. But what was
kept from US media at the time was that a year earlier the US had
installed nuclear missiles in Turkey [1], bordering the Soviet Union.
Moscow and other Russian cities were easy targets. Americans also never
heard that in agreeing to remove the missiles from Cuba, the USSR forced
America to remove its missiles ...
Some Facts About the Ukraine “Crisis” by Phil Anderson
Some Facts About the Ukraine “Crisis”
Phil Anderson
There is much Americans need to know about the conflict in Ukraine but are not being told. The public gets the biased propaganda intended to justify the desired Washington establishment agenda. There is certainly no “fair and balanced” information coming from the corporate media.
To begin with the United States has no “vital national interests” in Ukraine. If Ukraine disappeared tomorrow, it would have zero impact on the vast majority of Americans. A couple of facts make this ...
Women’s reproductive health under fire from an unjust system
Eight million women are uninsured as they face the "Medicaid gap" when their income is too high for Medicaid and too low to purchase healthcare through the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
Water is life
“A society’s fate lies in its own hands and depends substantially on its own choices.” —Jared Diamond, in Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed
“We have a responsibility to develop sustainable environmental policies that ensure our precious natural resources will be around for future generations. Businesses, homeowners, and municipalities all rely on groundwater resources to thrive in daily life.” —Wisconsin Representative Cory Mason
Water is life. This is not a radical, liberal, or whacko environmentalist notion. It is not a partisan issue. ...
FOXCONN: BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO
(Mr. Jeff Smith is the State Senator from the 31st District of Wisconsin.)
Over time, relationships can go sour. When it happens in one’s private life, the breakup can be agonizing; so much of two people’s lives can be intertwined in a short time. When it’s a public or business relationship, the breakup can be painful and even more complicated. Most likely, there are legal contracts or properties linking the two parties.
Take the relationship between Wisconsin and Foxconn, for example.
It started in 2017 with so much promise, glamour and, of course, a ...
TAURUS THE BULL – THE CONSTELLATION FOR JANUARY 2021
Taurus the Bull, the star constellation for January 2021, is pretty hard to beat. For me, it has about everything one would want: the remnants of an exploding star, two beautiful star clusters and an attractive giant orange star.
Taurus is easy to find. First, find Orion the Hunter in the southeast sky. (You may want to go to www.skymaps.com to help you locate features in the night sky for each month.)
Locate Orion’s belt stars, create an imaginary straight line connecting the stars, then follow the line up and to the right. You will come to a prominent “V ...
