Hi Issy,

Got a bit of a shadow on the right side of the eye. Not sure if its from the work, or its from the eyelid. If its not gone by Wednesday I'll be telling him. I wear the dark glasses as told, but the nite patch is useless, falls off.

One thing that I am thankful for. I have not heard of anyone calling for prayers to deal with the rain or Ukraine.

I see that Putin's rapid strike is being bogged down and the hundreds of shoulder-launched anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles are destroying dozens of Russian tanks, helicopters and aircraft, and the pictures of dead Russian soldiers splayed on the ground are having an effect on the Russian people.

This is working so well that the US and Germany are shipping 1000s more missiles designed for guerilla warfare to the Ukrainians. Combined with freezing and confiscating Russian assets and cutting their banks' ability to trade this will soon become a nightmare similar to that Russia had in Afghanistan in the 1980s.

According to the News, the Ukrainian Government is offering arms to civilians if they wish to fight, now there’s a thought for any other country that may face invasion.
But the time to act is before the invasion.

Think Switzerland.

Hi Issy,

I didn't know the Ukrainians were armless, how do they play their ukes? If the Ruskies drink enough vodka they could be legless. I seen some Ukrainians filling bottles to throw at the Ruskies this morning, but will it work? Look at the price of vodka at the pump here, over 2 bucks a litre, and that's not even the good stuff!

We will do everything in our power to save the Ukrainians, but will Australians be prepared to go as far as paying 2 bucks, a litre, just to see the Ukrainians throwing the stuff at the Russians.

Here's my reply:

Donald Trump thinks that Putin is great...."

Well he didn't. He just didn't. You're making it up. He said Putin's move in recognising the independence of the Donbass was clever. Anyone with a reading level above year 8 knows that's not the same thing as saying the man is great.

Unfortunately, despite being utter rubbish, that was the most accurate part of Foxy's fantasy-land post.

Oh dear!!

Hilariously, Foxy thinks that for Trump its all about money when we know, as a matter of fact, that the Biden family have received bribes from Russia. But somehow Foxy never notices those facts.

Incidentally, while Trump rightly saw the recognition of the DonBass as a clever realpolitik move, he's also called the full-on invasion a major mistake.
