At the time of my last posting on this blog, four million Ukrainians had been forced to
flee from the slaughter inflicted on their country, by the Russian army. The number of
refugees has now surpassed five million, and is expected to grow to eight million, as the
brutal onslaught continues. It seams unthinkable that history could be repeating itself
again. but we have to remember that a previous Russian dictator, Joseph Stalin,
confiscated all of Ukraine's food crops, in the early 1930's, causing an estimated five
to six million people to starve to death. And now the world is entering another period
of ignorance, hatreds and greed, as our species resists truth, science and education,
while our own pollution is destroying our only home, the Earth. There are dark days
ahead for all of us.
