Thank you BB. Not a dull moment in the world these days.

A few questions:

1) I have read in several places that one of the major “goals” of a US/Russia proxy war was due to a perceived serious need for “denazification” of Ukraine that was creating longterm instability and increasing widespread corruption. Your thoughts?

2) Unless there is widespread loss of internet access in Ukraine, or censorship, I am wondering why there seems to be a dearth of phone images of destruction in Ukraine and Russia. Even in relative poverty, a phone seems to be an essential. I mean, people pose photos of all manner of daily minutiae, including their breakfast choice, so why have we not been flooded with images? Your thoughts?

3) The ones most likely to have a better overview of the ongoing longterm and current political, financial, structural, spiritual, and cultural condition of Ukraine would be spiritual leaders, in particular, Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of the UGCC. And, yet, his statements are that Russia’s goal is to completely conquer Ukraine so as to impose the Russian Orthodox religion and wipe out the UGCC. Putin and Lavrov have insisted their terms are solely Crimea and the Donbas regions that have long been highly russified. Your thoughts?
