My Dear Friend & POTUS, DJT,

                  “No room for hate!” Perhaps that’s how you should start your meeting with VOZ & his crew of European leaders today. Emphasize your commitment to ending the killing in Ukraine & clarify what your guy, Steven Witkoff (SCW) meant when he said the US will “offer Article 5-like language to cover a security guarantee.”

                  Please don’t waste time worrying about “winning” this conversation. As Alan Watts wrote, “The whole process of nature is an integrated process of immense complexity, & it’s really impossible to tell whether anything that happens in it is good or bad.” Remember that God is change & do your best to be curious. Remember, the war in Ukraine is not about you.

I’m not sure anyone knows what it’s about anymore. VVP likes to think he’s defending the people who identify as “Russian” who live in Eastern Ukraine. That region has been ruled by various governments & the people affiliate with the East & the West, speaking both Russian & Ukranian. Half the people belong to the Eastern Orthodox churches & the rest practice a variety of religions. It’s as diverse as the US or Burma, so VVP’s narrative does not ring true to me. VOZ’s logic that the Ukraine is defending itself from a foreign invasion makes more sense to me. What’s your explanation for this war?

Whatever narrative one chooses, we both know WINTA & ending it sooner rather than later will prevent more death & destruction. Please call VVP & tell him you are troubled that “at least seven people were killed in a drone attack on Kharkiv, including a small girl, while three were killed in another bombing in Zaporizhzhia.”

            While you are making phone calls, please also call Min Aung Hlaing & tell him you are not happy about his latest bombing which killed at least 24 Karenni civilians. Let him know that you do not believe his Dec 28 elections will be legit as long as he is doing stuff like that.

            BYBS,
