God news????
If you dig deep into news on the net you can find some interesting bits.
Today I found one, apparently a Russian General was interviewed by Sky News.
He claims that in August the war with Ukraine will take a serious turn and by years end it will be over.
Also that Putin is sick with some form of blood cancer, a number of medical scientist agree saying he looks like a man on some very serious steroids.
His lover is now potted again as well according to the news.
The General then went on to say plans are well established for a coup to remove Putin from office.
Time will tell how much of this is true.

Re: God news????
Hi Vernon.
I thought it was false news that 21thousand Americans have been killed in gunfire since January. and then yesterday that gunman killed 19 in one hit, must be like a war zone there.

Re: God news????
Hi Des, You aren’t too far wrong, it does depend on where one lives. With so many guns in the hands of youngsters and a lot of adult idiots, it seems nowhere is safe anymore. Pity we didn’t continue the Draft as, while it trained those same persons to become armed killers, at the same time taught discipline and comradeship as different peoples were forced to mix and get along with each other. It was the same aboard ship … thrown together, no getting out of it for months. Had no choice but to mix in and rid oneself of bias, etc.. MANY A TIME I ENDED UP AS BEST PAL with someone i thought was going to be trouble, maybe they were in the beginning, but really ended up being great friends, some for life. Hopefully this nasty behavior and lack of respect will exhaust itself and a better lifestyle prevail. A gun has become a coward’s way of settling a grievance. Keith.

Re: God news????
Saw Putin on TV news last night, would say he is very sick.
Face so swollen no doubt by the amount of steroids he is on, not looking at all well.
There was also a second account of preparation for a coup to remove him.
A number of the big oil men are said to be behind this as they are loosing money.
As to guns in USA.
A very odd case today from there.
In Buffalo a guy shot and killed 10 or so.
Her was arrested by police and taken in for questioning.
Odd, normally the police shoot them then take them to the morgue for questioning.

Re: God news????
Hang in there Tom, second chances do come around some time.
AS to the Putin situation.
A second report similar to the first came today from a British Civil Servant who had dealings with Russia.
Claims Putin had back surgery and is very ill indeed with some form of blood cancer and another illness which no one is sure about.
He also went on to say that in his opinion a coup will definately take place this year.
