Thanks, Karl! When I read this and the other reports you offered pre-election when VVP was touring the regions the sense of a nation moving forward is woven throughout. There seems to be energy and a genuine desire for the government to hear and represent the 'will of the people', so much more so than in the chronically sick US, and its vassals in the EU, Japan, Canada, Au, and NZ. In Europe we have a dictatorship in Brussels, an oligarchy in the UK, and no one anywhere ever held accountable for the catastrophic decisions made.

The 'west' is lost, its soul sold, its future hurtling downward. And that gives me pause. Because no empire has ever gone quietly into the night, with the possible exception of the Soviet Union, and I expect the dying west to lash out in its death throes.

Your comment will fit well with the next article you read. I contemplated addressing that issue and did in a much different fashion. I also didn't deal with the SMO as when it's over at least 100,000 Russians will be released back into the workforce. And there's more that I have on my mind that will await another day.
