merry xmas thang :)

### - and so this is christmas
and what have you done
another year over
another just begun?

smile, goodness only knows what's gonna be happening to us this year huh,  
nothing very good that's for sure! trumpy in the WH apparently wants the  
suez canal back, forcing massive change to the middle east all the way  
 from the canal and red sea through to the ocean, undoubtedly backed-up by  
the military and whatever else it takes to control that whole vast area  
cutting right through muslim territory, and there's bugger-all they can do  
about it!

dunno what iran's gonna do now, if anything, they've missed the boat (the  
last one leaving town) and are now right royally screwed/totally isolated,  
and are prolly gonna get their head kicked-in sometime soon one way or  
another...

otherwise, russia is up next and no one really knows what they're capable  
of if/when pushed into a corner, the problem with them being that 'when'  
they decide to act they usually do so straight away without any notice,  
and as such could launch an attack whenever they think it's time to do so  
and which has already come fairly close a couple of times, the last time  
being when our lady prime minister (liz truss) kept paranoicly peeping out  
the window and watching the weather channels for wind patterns when warned  
by the US that there was a 50% chance russia was gonna launch nukes upon  
ukraine and she was worried the fallout would blow towards the uk... a 50%  
chance!

and the situation has become even 'more' difficult since then??

yup, it's gonna be a difficult year alright, especially with the likes of  
trumpy ruling the roost again (still can't believe they actually put him  
back in sheesh, talk about being desperate?)

meanwhile, here's a word or 3 from probably one of the last intelligent  
people left on this planet, he's almost an old fossile himself by now (and  
looks it lol) and it's a bit garbled, but his message is clear enough  
towards the end that humanity's down to our last chance to alter our  
otherwise inevitable fate...

our chances imho not being very good if we've reached the point where it's  
all down to trumpy to decide what happens to poor old planet earth, so not  
exactly hopeful...
