Eww. That image from DALL-e is truly frightening. Compound fractures are never pretty.

Once Putin started the Ukraine invasion, there was no practical way of stopping him. I left active Army duty during the early stages of the Vietnam war, and it was still dragging on years later. My employer enrolled me in some advanced economics courses where one of the professors compared continuing the war to throwing good money after bad - the lives lost were sunk costs. This is the mode Putin is in now. The only way to defeat him is for the USA and our NATO allies to engage in ground action which would be sure to escalate. Trump will not be president for long and a cessation to the war now might allow Ukraine to recover somewhat. And maybe Putin will stumble and fall from, a great height.

Granted there are 50 million illegals woven into our economy which some of us do not see as a plus. It does not have to be that way. The school systems where I live and where my granddaughter teaches are overloaded with students who do not speak English. The urgent care facilities are overloaded. The businesses in several areas primarily inhabited by illegals generally serve only that population. Deportation of most of the violent and dishonest and non-self-sufficient illegals would be a good start toward gaining control of immigration.

And Mr. Trump is offering short-handed businesses a newly unemployed labor pool.
