War or climate will destroy our planet

-

Which will bring the end of Planet Earth — war or loss of climate?

I have to wonder if today’s youth needs to bother about planning for the future. The call to circle the wagons has only had the words changed to, “Prepare yourself for a nuke sandwich.”

One war should be enough for anybody to go through. Sadly mankind has not, and never will, get along as long as the grass appears greener in another’s backyard.

Supplying more weapons only guarantees continuous devastatio­n and death in the Ukraine. This is only increasing the thoughts of Russia combined with retaliatio­n power to destroy whatever is left of Planet Earth.

Strangely I believe in a 10-cent white flag indicating truce, thus allowing peace talks among all countries involved.

I don’t recall Russia supporting the United States in Afghanista­n, Vietnam or North Korea with the U.S. being slightly late for the second one which I attended with perfect attendance and still feel the pain 80-plus years later.

However, I do recall Russia advising against the war in Afghanista­n that lasted 20 years and with no winner.

Justin Trudeau has no idea what an average life takes to survive and isn’t helping Canada by one iota by playing the game monkey do what monkey sees.

Squanderin­g taxpayer money and keeping your own as many politician­s appear to do is BS and “porkitical” hell is waiting.

Today I bet Canada couldn’t fight its way out of a paper bag without big buddy’s interferen­ce.

There’s more to this letter, but why bother as frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.
