BY NILE GARDINER

The increasingly likely Russian invasion of Ukraine is a wake-up call for the West, a shattering of the illusion that the spectre of war can be banished from modern-day Europe. Tens of thousands may die on the altar of the vainglorious imperial ambitions of a vicious regime in Moscow headed by a brutal tyrant. Kyiv, one of the biggest cities in Europe, could be conquered by invading Russian troops in what might be the biggest urban battle the European continent has witnessed since the Second World War.

The impending war in Ukraine has exposed not just the impotence and shameful appeasement mindset of Europe’s ruling elites in Brussels, Berlin and Paris. It has also sharply illustrated the tragic decline of American leadership on the world stage.

It is no coincidence that Vladimir Putin has mobilised more than 150,000 Russian troops on Ukraine’s borders while Joe Biden is in the White House. Clearly, Mr Putin views Biden as a pushover, a weak-kneed president obsessed with his sinking domestic agenda while Rome burns across the Atlantic.

Much like his Democratic predecessor, Barack Obama, Joe Biden has no clear strategic vision for the United States in the global arena. His foreign policy has been overwhelmingly reactive, based very heavily upon the naive ideal of multilateral diplomacy, rather than the projection of American might and power. Obama’s advisers spoke of “leading from behind”. Biden’s team, many of whom served in the Obama administration, can barely even lead at all.

On the Ukraine front, the Russians were already massing troops as early as March last year, with no real response at the time from Washington. Instead of actively working to prevent a Russian invasion, the White House’s approach has been premised largely upon responding to one. There has been too little action on deterrence. The focus instead has been on measures to punish Russia economically for its actions, sanctions that may never come to pass with a divided Europe so heavily dependent upon Moscow for energy.

In contrast to Donald Trump, Biden’s foreign policy has been both predictable and distinctly lacking in bite. The Russians found to their cost that although Trump espoused isolationist and non-interventionist views, he was prepared to use military force against Russian interests in Syria, and strategic leverage against their ambitions in Europe: his presidency actively campaigned against the Nord Stream 2 pipeline running to Germany.

It was Biden’s election that ultimately ensured the massive pipeline project could be completed without the implementation of US sanctions. Biden’s refusal to take real action against Nord Stream 2 was a huge strategic win for the Kremlin, and a significant factor emboldening the Russians over Ukraine.

The disastrous American withdrawal from Afghanistan last August further convinced the Russians that the United States no longer had the stomach to fight against even far lesser adversaries, and was willing to allow the Taliban to return to power in a country that had been the launch pad for the 9/11 terrorist attacks that claimed 3,000 lives.

The lessons from American weakness in Afghanistan and in Europe have been closely observed in Beijing. It is no coincidence that the Chinese-Russian axis is now at its strongest point in decades.

Putin and Xi Jinping are today collaborating on practically every major foreign policy issue, from Taiwan to Ukraine and Iran. The Biden White House has no.......

CrimeTrue Stories Behind Nursery Rhymes And Lullabies by house10s2(op): 11:18am On Mar 10, 2022
1. THREE BLIND MICE

Three blind mice, three blind mice
See how they run, see how they run
They all ran after the farmer's wife
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife. Did you ever see such thing in your life


As three blind mice

The farmers wife refers to Queen Mary 1, otherwise known as bloody Mary, the one who burned hundreds of Protestants "heretics" in Tudor, England.

The three blind mice were three noblemen who were convicted of plotting against her, and who as a result, burned them alive at the stake.



2. RING AROUND THE ROSIE

Ring around the rosie
Pocket full of possies
Ashes, ashes
We all fall down

This nursery rhyme references The Black Death in Europe, a bubonic plague pandemic which lasted from 1346 to 1352.

The plague would appear as black sores on the bodies of the afflicted. People stuffed "posies", a type of flower into their pockets so they couldn't smell the dead bodies that were piling up everywhere.

The "ashes" fell after the burned the bodies to prevent the spread of the infection. Although not everyone "fell down," The Black Death wiped out a significant of 20% of the world's population.


3. LONDON BRIDGE IS FALLING DOWN.

London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down,
London Bridge is falling down my fair lady


There are several theories and stories about the origin and meaning of this very popular nursery rhyme;

1. One has it reffering to the Vikings attack of the bridge in 1009.

2. Another fable is that the bridge's foundation was made of human children's remains and the only way to keep the bridge standing was to offer another child as a sacrifice to it (There is no proof that anyone was buried within the bridge.)

3. Another says it deals with the degradation of the old bridge over time (and a call to repair it.) Walt Disney created a cartoon version in which the bridge was brought down by age and fire destruction.
.
There are also several theories about whom the fair lady refers to;

1. Eleanor of Provence who owned the bridge from 1269-1281.

2. The fair lady is also refered to as Matilda of Scotland who built the first covered bridge and consorted with Henry 1, the king responsible for the crossing of the bridge.

3. The leigh family, who carried on the legend that a human sacrifice was carried out under the structure.

While none of these theories have been proven, they do make for great stories.

Rubyjade:
If you are above 30 and you are still single as a guy, better start going to churches or start working on yourself, it's either you have a bad character or your Uncle in the village don't want you to get married.

Yes, this is the bitter truth...

Being single at 30 and above is bad, and the chances of you getting married and having your kids on time is slim...

What if delay in child bearing occurs and you happens to stay for more 5 or 10 years before children starts coming...

Uncle, get married now ooo, time waits for nobody

How does it sound?
Does it sound stupid?

This is the lines most you use on ladies, making them believe they are overdue for marriage.
This is the lines most of you use on ladies, that talks them into depression.

At 40, he got married to her when she was 20, believing he has higher advantage as a man, yes, God blessed them with a girl and since then no issue.

Uncle is running to 50 and becoming very weak, Aunty is running to 30 and looking more sound and beautiful ❤️.

The chances of Uncle dying anytime soon is 50-50 because he has a diseases which keeps him in the hospital all the time.

When next you think about shaming a woman, because she is 30 & above and single, read this...
