HG Wells believed that if the Kings and Leaders worked together with the Artists, then he believed that we could work together to benefit society.

There have been some examples, such as Farm Aid with Willie Nelson, and other projects where the artists and leaders work together to benefit the people.

And Roy Rogers, and Ronald Reagan, and Gene Autry, they made history, and Walt Disney, and other great Americans from the Entertainment Industry, they benefited society, they were all altruistic. And Arnold.

Just as a magical "What if?" Then What if we could get Kenneth Branagh to speak to the United Nations? And if so what would we want him to say?

What if society could call on Great Men to aid and benefit society?

Salute,

Tony V.

No, no, Ken could reprise his St Crispin's Day speech from Henry V that roused the troops at Agincourt!

We can all chip in and send Tony a mail-order bride from Spain, Greece, Italy, Russia, etc. 
But I would not do that to any woman, no matter how desperate she is.

Tony has a good heart...he would make a kind woman a good partner.

Now that North Korea has committed to supply armaments to Russia there is a stronger chance this war continues another year or more under the same methodology and tactics from the Ukrainian side as the West supports the cheap and efficient draining of both Russian and North Korean military capabilities until that side says uncle. This fuels political instability within two of the worlds most evil states while diminishing their ability to project military power.

The whole world benefits if Russia goes down in the field and wounds the few remaining allies it has in the process.

Russia has won the war, hasn't it?
Yes.

And now that China, Russia, NK, Iran etc have formed a coalition, this victory will embolden them to invade and conquer Taiwan, Australia, Japan, the rest of Asia, ...and then Europe, that didn't really seem fully committed to helping Ukraine.

Then India, Canada, South America, and finally the US.

Sad really.
Oh well, too late now to stop them, the West should never have exported 'all' its manufacturing to China etc.

We can have peace Bambu. Right now Australia needs to send food to China, and in return China can send Australia solar panels to meet your energy needs.

And use your Natural Gas, we are using Natural Gas in Anaheim for our Electricity, and the Citizens own the Electric Company and some of the money goes to help the homeless, etc, it is great. And we use Natural Gas for cooking, etc.

And the Philippines is on our Team, along with Taiwan, etc.

We need for the Peace Corps to be active, and Kiwanis International, and Youth For Christ, and other groups, need to work to help the poor and to stop the wars and to keep the peace.

And right now we can all focus on helping Jalisco, Mexico. And the British and the Australians and others can open Mexican restaurants, like Danny Trejo opening a taco restaurant in London.

On the issue of Ukraine, we need to make a plan, and the whole world needs to work together as a team to stop Putin. The United Nations must stop Putin. The same way that Napoleon was sent to Elba then we need to send Putin to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It is time to put Putin in Prison.

And we can learn from the Germans with their "Blitzkreig" strategy of sending a huge over-powering force all at once with the element of surprise. The United Nations can put together a huge team and we can act all at once to remove Putin like we did with Noriega and we can put Putin in prison in Guantanamo Bay.

Salute,

Tony V.

What percentage of Russians live in poverty? Approximately 14 percent of the population of Russia lived below the national poverty line between January and March 2023.

Jul 24, 2023

--------

Almost 1 in 5 people in Russia is living in poverty. Russia is poor.

And the American people have closer ties to the Russian people than is realized, the Russians love American Rock and Roll, and a lot of our military guys have married Russian mail order brides, I have friends who married the Russian women from the Russian dating services, one friend married a Russian woman after he got back from serving in Afghanistan and he bought a nice house in Montana and he has children now with her and they are living the American Dream. There are a lot of Russians in America, and the military guys are marrying the Russian women from the Russian dating services.

It would be easier to remove Putin than people think, in my opinion. The United Nations needs to examine the idea of removing Putin and putting Putin in prison in Guantanamo Bay.

We can remove Putin just like we did Noriega, and we can put Putin in prison in Guantanamo Bay.

( Also of note, is our upper class has always had connections with the upper class in Russia, with Stanislavsky, and Anton Chekhov and Michael Chekhov, and with the Russian Ballet, etc, and New York City has the Russian Tea Room, etc. Kirk Douglas descended from Russian immigrants in New York. Etc. )

Salute,

Tony V.

Russia back to blowing up civilians in Ukraine   at least 51 killed in missile strike.
A perfect example of why Australia must get nukes from some
where in a hurry.

Looks like the nuke subs are now not coming from the US.

Yes, the folly of Australia's signing nuke-non proliferation treaties and not arming itself with British nukes decades ago...in return for allowing Britain to test nukes in Australia long ago.

Of course not. Your cardboard billionaires cannot keep their goddamn mouths shut. No nukes for you!

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Yet.
The only way to stop them from doing so is to get nukes, subs would be best at this late stage...and have something to fire back.

The AUKUS alliance was hardly a secret!

2032?
2040?

Australia will be a province of China by then...and I a laundry/coal mine slave.
Think I might jump into the nearby Tasman Sea/Pacific Ocean 'billabong' before then.
Death before slavery!

Poland (isn't it a NATO country?) has stopped aiding Ukraine.
So too has Slovakia, new President.

Time for the evacuation of Ukraine to begin.
Get everyone out, relocate them around the world, then let Russia have it, move in.
