Whose Side Are You On?

I'm glad you asked. I am on the side of America.

If you take a deeper look at it, there are many issues facing our country and many sides to take. 

One that is at the forefront of the world's attention is the war between Russia and Ukraine, and people are taking sides. Either you are for or against one of these countries, and nothing else is even possible. Ah, but it is. Personally, I support neither country and think the U.S. should keep its nose out of it. We, the American people do not want war. This is the third side and it is called neutrality. Ever heard of that? 

Those who insist that we continue to support Ukraine with billions of dollars of money and/or equipment, are just condoning more killing on both sides until there is no longer enough men to fight, or more importantly, work and raise families. I don't understand why anyone would want this. No, really I do and it all goes back to follow the money, and whose pockets get lined.

So, I am tired of seeing the blue and yellow flags with the words "I stand with Ukraine" everywhere I look. To say anything else seems to suggest that one aligns with Russia. I don't. However, when trying to negotiate a peace agreement, one must have both parties at the table. The Ukrainian president did not make a good showing, arriving at the White House (by invitation) wearing attire unbecoming of a president. He then reneged on already agreed-upon terms, refused to sign and demanded more money/support...whatever.

It is very telling that the only time the democratic members of congress clapped during President Trump's address was when he talked about the war and how many billions in aid had been given by the previous administration) One member, also known as “Pocahontas”, clapped even harder when he called her out. What does that say about the democratic state of mind?

Whose side are you on and why?

Until next time, take care and stay safe.
