THE TRAGIC ENDING FOR UKRAINE.

With all the nonsense that has been going on with Mr Trump recently, I just wanted to step back for a moment and reassess the events of the last few years in an attempt to put them into some sort of perspective.

Firstly, an aggressive foreign power, Russia, invades part of Ukraine and no other countries in the world come to their aid.

Some times goes by and the same aggressive foreign power invades yet again, this time destroying and capturing a considerable amount of the sovereign territory of Ukraine even though they have, with the assistance of America and other European countries fought bravely to defend their country.

A new president, Mr Trump is elected in America with a policy of putting America first and fxxk everyone else, who then decides he will no longer assist the Ukrainians in this war for their survival which goes down very well with Mr Trumps supporters in America. Not so well with the poor Ukrainians who are still fighting for their very existence.

If things aren’t going badly enough for the Ukrainians, Mr Trump then comes up with the bright idea, that he will force Ukraine to surrender to the Russians, allowing them to keep all the territory they have stolen, which once again goes down very well with his supporters in America and Mr Putin’s supporters in Russia.

Finally, Mr Trump is getting fed up with the Ukrainians and decides he wants the money back which the Americans have given to Ukraine to fight the war against Russia, so he will now put American companies into Ukraine to rape their vast mineral resources.

I think that’s a reasonably accurate summary of the timeline of events of the war so far.

So, to recap, an aggressive foreign power can invade a country, start a war and then be allowed to keep all the territory they have stolen and following that, another aggressive foreign power can effectively invade the country and steal all the mineral resources.

I would love to come to a conclusion on this matter but I cannot for the life of me think of a way to make any sense of this situation, how can these two evil men be allowed to get away with this? I am utterly discombobulated that this can happen in a supposedly civilised world, what strange times we live in!

About The Diary of a Country Bumpkin

I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent. Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work. I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise. I spent many years looking after my aged mother and shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013. My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie. I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes. I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage. My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse. I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1

It’s at times like this that I would like to believe in heaven and hell because Trump and his ilk would surely end in hell…unfortunately not soon enough! I see he has now stopped providing intelligence reports to Ukraine. The man is evil and vindictive.

  Evil and vindictive is exactly right.
