Real....

 

President Joe Biden admitted consumer prices were too high as he toured the Port of Baltimore and set out how his massive spending plans would help drive down inflation.

'Everything from a gallon of gas a loaf of bread costs more and it's worrisome even though wages are going up,' he said.
'We still face challenges; we have to tackle them.' 

President Biden said that a food shortage is "gonna be real" following the sanctions that were placed on Russia by the U.S. government as a result   of Russian invasion into Ukraine.

"With regard to food shortage, yes we did talk about food shortages, and it's gonna be real," Biden said during a press conference at a NATO summit in Brussels, Belgium, following a meeting with other world leaders.

How effective these sanctions are if it cause food shortage world wide?

Who are we punishing and why?   Just an "Oxymoran" thought. 

Union..

 

The union organizing Starbucks workers extended its winning streak on Friday, adding an eighth store to the list of unionized locations.

Employees at the store in Mesa, Arizona, voted to join Workers United by a count of 11 to 3, according to a vote tally conducted by the National Labor Relations Board. That brings the union’s success tally to five stores in the Buffalo area, two in Mesa and one in Starbucks’ hometown of Seattle.

Finland..

 

Other “successful precedents” for neutrality providing a potential “solution” to the current crisis include the 1955 Austrian State Treaty and the earlier neutrality of Belgium, agreed at the London Conference of 1830-1832.

It is true that following the Austrian State Treaty, all allied occupation forces withdrew from the country and Austria enshrined perpetual neutrality in its constitution and a constitutional act of parliament which declared that “in all future times Austria will not join any military alliances and will not permit the establishment of any foreign military bases on her territory.”

Belgium became a “perpetually neutral state” under the terms of London Conference. The five great powers of the time – Britain, France, Prussia, Austria and Russia – undertook to “guarantee to it that perpetual neutrality, as well as the integrity and inviolability of its territory”.  
 

These three countries are offering a potential blueprint for Ukrainian neutrality – Belgium, Finland, and Austria – required to demilitarise and none of them had their very right to existence challenged. Just a thought.

Dagger .

 

One of the justifications for the Russian war against Ukraine is the need to remove the “dagger to the throat of Russia” by insisting on Kyiv’s neutrality and demilitarisation. 

Ukraine would have to give up its right to join either NATO or the EU, completely demilitarise and not allow foreign military bases on its territory.  

The notion of the “Finlandisation” of Ukraine has been widely discussed. The legal framework for this consisted of the 1947 Peace Treaty with Finland and the 1948 Finno-Soviet Agreement of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance

Article 8 of the 1947 treaty required Finland to ban any “organisations conducting propaganda hostile to the Soviet Union”. The 1948 agreement, although not requiring demilitarisation, stipulated in Article 4 that Finland must not “conclude or join any coalition directed against” the Soviet Union. The 1947 Peace Treaty with Finland.

Simple solution to those who desire war, killing, intemidation and threatining of other nations.  Just a "Neutral" thought.

Hunger..

President Joe Biden said Thursday that a food shortage is "gonna be real" following the sanctions that were placed on Russia by the U.S. government as a result of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion into Ukraine.

"With regard to food shortage, yes we did talk about food shortages, and it's gonna be real," Biden said during a press conference at a NATO summit in Brussels, Belgium, following a meeting with other world leaders.

 The price of the sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia," he added. "It’s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well."

Biden said "Russia and Ukraine have been the breadbasket of Europe in terms of wheat" and insisted that he and other leaders had a "long discussion in the G7" about the need to "increase and disseminate" food production.

And the Democratic party's silence about their president who just spreading hunger around the world. What a Christian Gesture to send to the world on Easter. 

Just an "Easter Gift" thought.

Encounter..

 

Bacon..

 

Regret..

 

In an effort to slow the nation's contribution to climate change, President Biden has signed an executive order to begin halting oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters.

The much-anticipated move is one of several executive actions the president took.

"These aren't pie-in-the-sky dreams. These are concrete, actionable solutions," Biden said at a signing ceremony for the executive orders.

However since then, Prices of oil and gas trippled and the Administration is begging the Middle east and Russia to produce more

Now, as Europe confronts the possibility of a serious supply squeeze amid Russian hostilities toward Ukraine, the U.S. is trying to help Europe secure emergency gas supplies. But there is only so much the Biden administration can do: Most American gas has been sold to other customers, and Europe has limited facilities to import more.

I'll bet the administration arre regretting their decision.

Just a "Regretful" thought.

Destruction..

 

I am not sure why the war is continuing in the Ukraine. Nobody wants the war to continue particularly it is negatively impacting Western, Eastern Europe, Russia and USA. 

Who is winning here? Anyone? it is a diversion for Biden's administration for sometime but not for long.

Ukraine will settle when USA tells Pres. Z to settle, nothing before the destruction of his country.  

Just a "Destructive" thought.
