Saddened by the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II, but at least she didn't live to see Trump win another election, and then let Putin proceed past Ukraine into Eastern Europe unchallenged by the American military. A bleak scenario to be sure. The Ukrainian army is holding fast. But I would wish anyone who lived through World War II the gift of eternal rest rather than having to live through something like that again. After social reforms held the fort for so many decades. Unbelievable.
