A Key Player in NATO, Echoes Gerry Maxey"s Solution to the Russo-Ukrainian War

At least we can surmise that some Norwegians at NATO headquarters in Brussels are reading THE MAXEY CHRONICLES; especially its opinion on how to resolve the Russo-Ukrainian War. Stian Jenssen is Director of the Private Office of the NATO Secretary General. At a panel discussion in his home country, Arendal, Norway, he stated a very logical conclusion to the Russo-Ukrainian War. “ I think that a solution could be for Ukraine to give up territory, and get NATO membership in return,” On August 10, 2023, this Blogger published : Roger Cohen's Russian Think Piece in NEW YORK TIMES Begs the Question: Was Gerry Maxey Right    about Russia TEN YEARS AGO? It contained the correct solution to the Russo-Ukrainian War. “The correct solution to this issue would have been Clinton enabling the partition of Ukraine, with the Donbas and Crimea going to Russia; and Ukraine joining the E.U. and NATO in 1993….THE MAXEY CHRONICLES.” Barbara Tuchman, in her masterpiece, THE GUNS OF AUGUST, defined the b

Birthday Reflections on Winston Churchill- Nobel Laureate, War Lord, Drunk, Depressive, Racist, Killer, Imperialist, Savior

  11-30 is Winston Churchill's birthday.   He won the Nobel Prize for Literature, and rightfully so.   The English language has had four masters, four Jedis...men who could write psalms in English: William Tyndale( the King  James Version of the Bible is based on his translation), William Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, and Winston Churchill. They could match King David in psalm writing.   He was a great warrior, and an apex racist.

Half of them don’t believe that it can physically be done, and the other half are doing it. ”   “ " I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

WORLD WAR I Ended @11AM 0n 11/11/1918-"Millions of men came to fight in this war and I find it incredible that I am the only one left." HARRY PATCH

  " Millions of men came to fight in this war and I find it incredible that I am the only one left." HARRY PATCH Harry Patch was the last living veteran of World War I. My astrophysicist friends tell me that the most amazing thing about living in this universe is TIME. According to them, physics state that this Blogger should be able to get up out of this room and travel back to 1731, without taxing himself. But it does not work like that; even if a Time Machine is eventually fabricated, it will only go one way, time travel into the future. Mankind will not be able to go back in time because time  goes only in one direction-it is an arrow. Which means every living witness to this moment in time, regardless of how young or how fit will eventually die; which means there will eventually be no living witness to any event. Harry Patch  was a plumber, an inarticulate plumber, yet by design or chance or fate he outlived them all, and eighty years after the end of the war  he was for
