  The only man in the room - Kennedy 1962

  in the current situation, it’s worth listening to this podcast about nuclear near misses.

  the cuban missile crisis was only one example, but is worth considering.

  in 1962 the united states and russia went eyeball to eyeball over russia’s military base in cuba.

  but a separate Ukraine that was aligned with Russia would have been acceptable

  And that can only be achieved with an invasion.

  Sbf,

  I think the video downplays the importance of Ukraine to Russia as the proximate cause of the invasion.

  I agree that President Putin is concerned with Nato in Eastern Europe but Russia would still want to invade Ukraine for other reasons.

  I don’t agree that the Russian people have not reached a breaking point. They don’t want Putin to start a nuclear war.

  Awakes says playing Chess is evil not for Witnesses!

  by Witness 007 in

  awake 73 3/23 p.12 "the spirit of compatition between players can lead to unpleasant circumstances...in some homes tensions linger longer then checkmate.

  chess is a game of war a play substitute for the art of war...danger of stirring up compatiton and hostility to one another something the bible warns christians to avoid.

  what effect does playing chess have on you is it wholesome?

  I gave up competitive chess (i.e. club chess) as a result of the article.

  Never gave up chess because of the article. During that Bobby Fischer era, the article came out very interestingly at the same time as many in BB were playing chess all over the place. After the article, everybody stopped.

  Where will the war in Ukraine lead to?

  there has been comments in the news recently that the war in ukraine could be the beginning to the world war three.. i would not be surprised if it is.

  .

  the bible says a time will come when the peace will be taken from the earth.. revelation 6:4 another came out, a fiery-colored horse, and it was granted to the one seated on it to take peace away from the earth so that they should slaughter one another, and he was given a great sword.. have you heard what possibly this war in ukraine could lead to?.

  We will see if anything different happens or not this time. In the meantime, you can get excited and guess if you like. Other than that not relating to Bible prophecy, hope life doesn’t get harder for me resulting from this.

  If trump was president,

  He wouldn’t be president for ever and and would be a matter of time before Ukraine would be invaded.

  remove your base from Turkey and we will remove our troops from Cuba.

  Different chessboard nowadays. Is that the only move now or is it better to have Russia war with Ukraine and maybe takeover Ukraine?

  Also, nuke threat is not about weakening US power in Eastern Europe or else but about not interfering militarily with Ukrainian invasion.

  watchtower 1974 p.167 "by disobediently over indulging in food and making a glutton of himself he shows no love for jehovah..in the presents of others does he ignore their needs and selfishly take more then his fair share?

  is he grossly overweight gorging himself?

  does he feel uncomfortable even getting sick...this person has no place in the congregation of god...they will not inherit gods kingdom.".

  "Somebody" needs to do "Something!"

  it's always unjustifiable for a country to attack another country without having first been attacked itself.. the nuremberg trials at the end of wwii made this clear.. more vividly too: following orders as a patriotic duty is never secondary to the pangs of your personal conscience.. .

  worst of all, hypocrisy destroys credibility when you.

  criticize other countries for doing what you have done.. .

  Is US killing with cotton or blowing up people so they don’t get maimed or killed or hurt. —Watch the movie “ Turtles can fly.”
  The media only shows the wrongs of the enemy.

  
  

  Sometimes the length is too short or not long enough like in the sinking on the Maine, allowing Pearl Harbor to be attacked, nuking Japan and the Vietnam war as you have seen in the movies. Anybody that gets in the way during battle can get killed “innocent” or guilty. Soldiers are not judges, they want to get put of there alive.

  But the USA states does not go around invading democratic countries, unless my memory is failing me.

  How sweet no to invade your allies.

  IT'S ALWAYS unjustifiable for a country to attack another country without having first been attacked itself.

  That is not always true, Terry. You can push a person too far.
