Oh, to put to use what we've learned in the Ukraine fight for independence, NOW!

It's been a true learning and advancing experience!

My thoughts...

The Economist reports a defeated candidate for President of Botswana stepped aside, his party having ruled for 6 decades.

The country is rich in diamonds; and the ruling party, The Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) was in power since its independence from Britain in 1966.  (Economist, November 9th issue, 2024, p. 36)

Seems like England trained its colony well in the ways of a democratic government, as the transition of governments was smooth.  The new President, Dumo Boko, a Harvard Grad, observed, "Democracy is alive here."

And on top of this, they're rich in diamonds!

My opinion.  

Surviving interference from Russia in favoring her Russian-backed opposition, President Maia Sandu leads her democratic country.

 Actually, her Moldova is contiguous with Ukraine.  These two countries share intelligence about what Russia is up to in their region, no doubt.

According to reports, Moldova has been essentially free of attack, though Russia has sometimes cut off power--natural gas, that it is reliant upon.

Can't imagine how difficult it must be to stand up to Russia for energy, knowing that next door Ukraine is being embattled for the last-immediate years?   Hooray, for President Sandu: resolute and determined on behalf of democracy!  

There's two, on the side of freedom: Russian neighbors!  Wow! 

My opinion.   

I voted this month in the federal elections for responsible leadership of our country.

 I did not expect to be treated to a weekend of controversy mirroring a monarchical in-house drama of persons in high-powered political and administrative positions sitting down to have a go in a chess game!

I'm just one American pleading for responsible conduct of world and internal country affairs from high places in Washington, DC.

Act your part on the world stage of current events for the sake of our country's economic prosperity; please, not to be toyed with.

My opinion.      

We need to develop the Central American Countries! M. Rubio is a good choice for Sec. of State.

Having these countries under Mexico is silly.  They just are at the beck and call of Mexico.

Trump's made a wise choice as China moves in, in my opinion.  Only if its accompanied with a development plan to conjoin them with the companies in the States.

Smart!

    

To my way of thinking, modern science, particularly medicine, has made today possible!

The real victor in today's election is a win for modern science.

Some religious persons, some politicians have tried to keep the celebration low key.  They have reiterated, "the woman's place is in the home."  What nonsense.  The woman is "born to be free!"  And I hope the polls will herald the innate democracy of the inner woman!

I am surprised that former President Trump, the "like it or not" politician, offers to protect women of the United States, when the police departments all over the country have that charge.  

Anyway, on with the election of this day, November 5th, 2024 in the good old USA!

My gratitude to live in this memorable era.

P.S.  "And, we're not going back (to any old science)!"

 

    

 

After years. I'm getting a listening-to from China!

Wonder of wonders!  I think they may be wondering how far some alliance with Russia can take them.

 I can only be surprised--they want those contacts with the West; and a path for acceptance howbeit progressively, I think. 

Awaiting....

My further update. Thanks to the British, going it on their own.
