Zelenskyy

The pounding Ukraine is experiencing is also to wear down the people for calls to replace the current president with an election that would open up the possibility of a Russian sympathizer. NATO needs to look at all the dynamics to a Russian assault against NATO, not just the drones. 

Would a Russian sympathizer as Ukraine president serve Trump’s ambitions?

Ukraine

Russia is fighting a larger war than Ukraine.  The war theater includes NATO borders. The escalation by Russia includes drone attacks on western NATO borders. The attacks into Ukraine includes soldiers of fortune from nearly every corner of the world. Putin has no intention of ending the war until he has accomplished the return of the Soviet Union.

The efforts by NATO is to answer the drone attacks to end the incursion at their sovereign borders. It has not discouraged Russia. Article Five is in effect in NATO to increase a greater response. The response is sufficient, however, like the attacks by Russia in Ukraine they are unending.

Putin is incrementally moving against NATO. Ukraine just happens to be in the way.

NATO has been unable to establish peace processes because Russia is not interested, at all.

NATO must reassess the involvement in the region from the standpoint it is under attack.

Putin is observing an increase in armament investments in NATO. The talk is about a five year readiness. Putin also believes he has Trump on a leash while fascinated with Venezuela. Putin believes it is now or never. Any discussion by Trump of a lasting peace is driven by image making to improve his perception as a great and permanent leader in the USA. Trump’s ideology for his world vision is intractable. 

Epstein’s description of Trump is voyeurism.

More than 300 Epstein survivors

ABC televised the testimony of survivors. There was the statement there were more than 300 survivors from a vast human trafficking network belonging to Jeffery Epstein. 

The emotional pain exhibited by the brave women who came forward is genuine. That level of pain after all these years is instilled in them. They have intricate coping methods due to PTSD. PTSD is an indicator of rape. 

They continue to cope with a trauma at a very  early sexual age when they were beginning to move from girl to woman. It is a difficult time for teens of both genders for normal growth and development. These girls were literally trapped into servitude by very clever people used to grooming them for sex at an age when they were floundering with their own identity.

The survivors are real. Their trauma is real. The trafficking was real. These girls were objects of the fantasies of wealthy, powerful men. They were dismissed as human beings when the money was paid. Somehow to the abusers their own pleasure outweighed dignity and compassion of young women with hopes for their future.

This went on globally and under the radar. More than 300 girls were used and remained a secret. There is a lot to know and if the emails reveal the truth, then the records need to be opened. 

Inappropriate use of survivors

The families of survivors of sexual abuse are correct in demanding respect of the survivors. Is it not enough that we have lost Ms. Virginia Giuffre to suicide? They need to be left alone to heal and get on with their lives. 

These women were at the center of the fantasies of wealthy men. Powerful men because of their wealth can protect from revealing details of the exploitation of these women who were girls at the time of their abuse.

One thing we know is that the girls were abused in several places on the globe. While there may have been abuse in one location there may not have been abuse in others. New York was Trump’s favored stomping grounds, not Maralago. While Trump has a club at the Florida resort, it was a place of business, not a pleasure palace. 

I suggest if one expects to find Trump’s abuse of girls anywhere on the globe it will be Epstein’s pleasure palace in NYC.
