CIA director speaks out about Putin's mindset (Russia's Plan B and Desperation)

Russia is having a hard time and they are being stalled in their Plan B pursuits. CIA Director Bill Burns indicates that Russia will become more desperate and more bloody. He also indicates that they are trying to rebuild their great empire. Its deeply embedded into his perception of self and sense of personal values (You can see that in his history of conflict and support within his prior KGB duties.)

Let me say I agree with Bill Burns on this one! Putin in a Cold War guy born and bred and wants to see his country return to its former glory. Ukraine must be a win for him and his country if he has any hope of claiming a level of victory (..at least part of the country that is Russian speaking. 🤷). 

Desperation has set in and soldiers have taking a small back step (based on previous losses) and the use of artillary to obliterate the opposition has increased. With western superior weaponry he may find himself somewhat out ranged (Threatening tactical nukes as an indication of psychological perspective and as a sign of that desperation.). 

That doesn't mean he can't win (time will tell) it just means that he will get more brutal in his approach and he will seek a decisive victory where human life will not be of any real consideration. Its simply a casualty.  

The country will increasingly be run with an iron fist to redraw the Iron Curtain. Ukraine and any nation on the planet should have the right to choose where it seeks to belong without militarized pressure. Freedom also comes with the right to choose. 

It is important for our American politicians to shore up any weaknesses we may have in the U.S. and keep their eyes toward the future where we have a window of opportunity to rejuvenate our nation, its mission, and its opportunities (In case your confused, that means our politicians should put down their petty arguments and focus on something greater than themselves for the benefit of everyone. There is more to patriotism than constant arguments and superficial differences {race, religion, etc..}. Be fearless in supporting core/universal American beliefs that made this nation great. Some are doing the right thing and some are not! 😮💨)

A few interesting pieces to read. Russia Plan B, Putin's Traitors, Russia IsolationRussian Scales Back (Delay tactic), and Russian Economy.

The Meaning of A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost

A Boundless Moment by Robert Frost He halted in the wind, and — what was that Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost? He stood there bringing March against his thought, And yet too ready to believe the most. "Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said; And truly it was fair enough for flowers had we but in us to assume in march Such white luxuriance of May for ours. We stood a moment so in a strange world, Myself as one his own pretense deceives; And then I said the truth (and we moved on). A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves. The poem is one of seasons changing and the cycle of life. Each May the bloom comes out and brings life to the death of winter. The poem is about a single moment when the characters see that life has changed. The layers of meaning can be deep but on the surface it appears Robert Frost is discussing nature and its cyclical momentum.   Everything in nature moves through patterns. The poem indicates that

Art Review: The Kiss by Gustav Klimt

The Kiss is Gustav Klimt’s most famous and well known painting. Produced in 1908 in Vienna, Austria and incorporated oil and gold life on the canvas ( 1 ). This was unique for his time and represents both tile works with Asiatic influence. The painting and the romance it brings forward is still wonderment to onlookers. The picture depicts a passionate relationship between a man and woman in a sort of perfect place.  The couple is embracing, bodies entwined, wearing robes of wealth and decadence. It provides linear constructs of the Art Nouveau style and the movement of arts with crafts ( 2 ). The male is square and masculine while the woman painted is in curves to represent femininity. The couple is a pair with the woman and man equal in stature. They are in a field of flowers and appear to rise above it.  To many this painting represents the concept that love has no bounds. Social position or worldly wealth cannot hide what goes on under the fancy clothes and standard m
