Ukraine Holds Back the Iron Curtain:
We start in near Earth orbit where the Chinese have begun to recycle outdated spacecraft. This space junk relocated to an area where it can’t interfere with operational space satellites. A place where they might burn in the atmosphere faster.
Unfortunately, this coincides with the hot war now ignited on the borders of the Ukraine, with the main push for the capital Kyiv in order to decapitate its leadership.
Right now, Russian troops are meeting fierce opposition from well trained homeland forces. With the blitzkrieg halted supply lines become a question. In the slow movements that follow the Russian army becomes vulnerable to light infantry attacks with shoulder style missile launchers that can dismantle tanks and helicopters.
Kyiv, a city of almost 3-million people now without food, water, bathrooms, and sleep has become desperate. The Russian soldiers left stranded on the front lines feel the same. It’s in that space that deadly clashes take place.
It’s an ugly civil war in the mud. Yet give the Russians credit for attempting to follow international rules of combat thus far because it’s within their power to destroy everything with conventional weapons without a respect for life.
While this stalemate takes place the morale for Russians erodes from humiliation. President Putin needed this Special Operation to take place in a 48-hour period. Straight to the capital with the installation of new leadership. Even better if the people of Ukraine threw roses in the streets. It had the chance of being Afghanistan 2.0 with Ukraine embracing their Eastern European cousins like long lost family members with the removal of the Berlin Wall.
The reality being peaceful cooperation for decades with populations mingling at the Olympics and World League soccer games. A real civil war where drinking buddies are now pitted against each other with machine guns as comforts are removed and the women disappear. It happened overnight without warning on both sides. Only the boring methodical civil servants marched forward to fire the first shots.
Last Thursday morning a Starbucks collapsed in the rumble of artillery fire turning the business suit grey for the man who liked to ride his bike. Never could these docile people believe the bluffs of a want-to-be-Czar.
Economic sanctions are tightening due to Putin’s war. He’s already being characterized as a war criminal. Now the threat of all out nuclear war to scar Earth’s face forever. Be prepared for the worst.
Hemp for victory!
Thank you,

I Won’t Give You Up - Almost Here
You need to hit me up about that book. I'm guessing that's about gold... I happened to like gold.
And on the subject of Ukraine it looks like Ukrainian forces are mounting a Savage retaliation now that Russian forces are finally on their soil.
Preparation and defense is winning the day and embarrassing Putin.
That's true. It keeps playing out.
What book?
This book... I was going to get a chance to mine in the Applegate valley. Yeah... 2 years of waiting and nothing then my stepparent decided to use the gold ore for dirt fill. Oops there went about 2 grand....
Sigh.
I could send you a copy? Or if you're on Amazon Kindle you can read it for free from KDP Select. It was my Dad's book. He spent a lot of time traveling around retracing the trail into Southern Oregon. Only the book is a collection of historical documents put into a story format that brings to light the first wagon train.
Absolutely let's connect I would love to know more about the Applegate and that early history of the gold mining adventures back then.
Awesome job sharing that connection with your family.
Really interested so thank you very much and I don't have Kindle so I'm sure we can figure something out.
Too bad about the Gold. There was an account on Steemit I used to follow that would send you gold every month with a subscription plan. Only it was more like gold trinkets.
Yeah I got some of those gold back dollars which is this thin film of gold. Funniest thing is it already went up significantly in value. Way too little gold in that to really be of too much use however at least I've got one. At that to the tiny little bit of gold that I've got... And it's a start.
Gold, oil and real estate. One day Hive could make that list. LOL
I absolutely believe so And Hive has been at the forefront of directly helping out ukrainians. We actually have quite a bit of amazing individuals here from that country and supporting them has been an amazing thing and I've ended up meeting some amazing new friends.
Cryptocurrency definitely is an entire huge situation and we have quite a bit of issues with all these sanctions and so forth.
And you totally forgot it is gold weed oil real estate and cryptocurrency!!! Cryptocurrencies like Hive are definitely an asset.
