Much, quite a bit of it rather disturbing, has been happening in Eastern Europe, instigated by Russia (under ‘Putin’), over the last few weeks. Though it is headline news in Europe there is scant mention of it in the U.S. though the ‘White House’ is (obviously) very engaged, & V.P. ‘Kamala Harris’ is talking about it while in Paris. It is like we are right back into the worst of ‘Cold War‘ tension.

I, true to my roots, try to keep abreast of news in Europe on a daily basis. That the U.K. ‘Daily Mail’ is the ONLY paper I read daily — & do so multiple times a day — helps.

There is a real possibility that thinks could get real ugly over there soon. So, this might be a good time to brush up on your East European geography so as to be able to better follow & understand what is happening — & where.
