Things in the world look pretty grim. Israel and Gaza, specifically Hamas, are at war. Ground troops have entered Gaza. Could it have been stopped before it got to this stage? Ask Hamas. They are who rejected the cease-fire agreement. I feel badly for the women and children. Women have no power and certainly children don’t. Gaza is tiny. There is no place to run and hide. This is a difficult region to understand. What I do understand is why Israel doesn’t want rockets fired in on its population.
Russian separatists have downed a Malaysian commercial airline. The militants won’t allow the international community in to aid recovery efforts. The scene sounds horrific. There isn’t much doubt at this point that the plane was shot down. This evil act of aggression on an innocent civilian population is totally inexcuseable.
Watch Russia scramble to make up excuses for itself, as usual.
Crash victims were mainly from the Netherlands but victims from 10 other countries were also killed. The world mourns the loss of these innocent souls lives.
Are we on the brink of some sort of mass war? I hesitate to say WWIII, but we all know from history how those things escalate. Yet, the stock market was thriving on Friday, despite all the grim news. Capitalism never ceases to amaze me.
