EVERYONE CARES BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO GIVE A DAMN:
As I Wrote In My Last Editorial . . . Zelensky, Ukraine & Putin are Like Three Scorpions in a Bottle that the Rest of the World is Watching with Bated Breath.
It’s Not As If These Countries Haven’t Been Going At Each Other For Centuries. And it’s Not as if these Countries are Nations Occupied by Choir Boys . . . These are Two Tough Nations, each with a History of Extreme Prejudice, Corruption, Hatred & Violence.
I Don’t Blame Trump For Walking Away . . . But I Blame Him or Whomever it was who was Responsible for Engaging with Zelenksyy from the Outset. Zelenksyy Is A Con-Artist In Victim’s Clothing.
Biden, Pelosi & Schumer Elevated Zelenksyy To Stardom, Giving Zelenksyy the False Belief that He was Greater than he Really is. And Knowing This, Trump Should Have Done all His Negotiations with Zelenksyy through Other People Away from the Cameras, the Limelight and the Media.
But That Written . . . What Was Done Is Done, which on the World Stage Has Created a Large Political Division Between Europe & America, which Zelenskyy is Taking Advantage of with Full Heart.
If You’ve Been A Long Term Reader Of Galganov.com, you Would Know that I Have a Very Low Opinion of Most of Europe, Especially As A Jew, whose Religious/Cultural Kinship Has Been Mistreated, Disenfranchised, Ridiculed, Beaten, Tortured & Murdered in Vast Numbers . . . And Not Just In Nazi Germany – But Throughout The Continent.
Why Do I Insert The Treatment Of Jews? . . . Because We’re The Canary In The Coal Mine.
And Even Today, as Israel is Fighting for its Life, Europe is No Friend to the Jews or for that Matter – Neither To America, and In-Spite of the Media Propaganda that Says Otherwise. Why Should I Care About The Ukrainian/Russian Debacle?
Actually I Don’t.
I Made that Clear in Numerous Editorials that I Have Written from the Start of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. Of Course it Bothers Me that So Many People are Being Killed with Untold Losses in Property & Infrastructure.
But Like-It Or Not – This Has Been The Way Of The World For Thousands Of Years, and Many More Thousands of Years to Come if we as a Species Live that Long . . . So Why Should We Be Sucked-Into Their Morass?
IF WISHES WERE HORSES . . . BEGGARS WOULD RIDE:
Wishing For Peace From A Thug Is A Fool’s Errand.
In September 1938 . . . England (Neville Chamberlain) & France (Edouard Daladier) Met with Adolf Hitler & Benito Mussolini in Munich Germany to Sign the Munich Agreement, which Agreed to Allow Germany to Annex the Sudetenland (Key Czech Industrial Region), because of the Number of Ethnic Germans Living in that Part of Czechoslovakia.
In Essence . . . They Surrendered To The Nazis Part Of A Country They Didn’t Own.
The Nazi Excuse for Demanding the Sudetenland Annexation from Czechoslovakia to Germany – Was The Ill Treatment Of The Czechoslovakian Germans At The Hands Of The Czechoslovakian Government. Whether that was True or Not (Probably Not) was Inconsequential, Because That Was Germany’s Casus Belli.
A Year Later . . . Almost To The Day – Germany Invaded Poland, Which Triggered WWII.
Because Of International Appeasement By England & France . . . Adolf Hitler (Germany) Felt Empowered to Take Much More of Europe as Germany Possibly Could. But it Didn’t End at Mainland Europe – It Also Encompassed The Whole Of England & Possibly The British Empire.
I’m Certain You Could See A Parallel Here.
DISTANCE WAS NOT ENOUGH!
World War Two Saw Unparalleled Human Damage, Death & Destruction for More than Four Years, which Sucked in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan & Ultimately the United States of America – All Countries Separated From Europe By Various Oceans.
And Even Though Japan Had No Interest In Europe, Japan Saw an Opportunity to Take-On the United States of America, while America’s Allies were Busy Fighting for their Lives Thousands of Miles Away, which Led the Japanese to Believe they Could Capture the South Pacific in a Limited War with America on Japan’s Home Turf.
Had The Munich Conference (Agreement) Never Have Happened, or Had England & France Stood their Ground Against Germany . . . Would WWII Have Happened? Would the Holocaust Have Happened? And Would Japan Have Attacked Pearl Harbor?
All Of That Could Be Debated – But No One Really Knows The Answer.
What We Do Know Is This . . . It Happened. And if History Teaches us Nothing Else – History Teaches us that History Repeats itself.
So What Are We Supposed To Do About Ukraine?
Are we Supposed to Fight on Behalf of a Country Few People Living Outside Ukraine Care About? . . . Walk Away as the World Did in September 1938? Or Should we Stand our Ground to Keep Russia at Bay, With The Real Risk Of Triggering A Much Bigger Conflict Between Russia, Russia’s Allies & NATO?
Personally . . . I Think The Die Has Already Been Cast. It’s Just The Outcome That’s In Question.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

This new PM in England still believes in a two state solution in Israel. I think this two state solution created Hamas and the October slaughter, yet it seems there are those in Europe that continue down this road. Therefore, I’ve lost confidence in anything Europe says or does.
At the beginning of the war Putin was willing to stop if only Ukraine will agree not to seek membership in Nato and Nato to declare that they will not offer Ukraine membership. Zelenski refused and continue with a war that he knew he had no chance in hell of winning. There are speculations as to why, one is, when you give the most corrupt country in the world half a Trillion dollars, some of it will end up in Switzerland. Now it came a full circle and Zelenski is willing. explain that.
We all know about the corruption and money laundering that was going on there, but no one ever mentions the U.S. biolabs that were located in the Ukraine, right on Russia’s doorstep.
Z walked into room thinking he was the stud and was going to walk all over T&V. New sheriff in town Z. T is not pushover biden and his one world cronies (Especially those from Europe). Ur analysis of history repeating itself is correct. Russia/China?OWG are pushing the buttons again to start WWIII or give up any land they chose to claim. When will dems/libtards ever learn? Also could Ukraine be another View Nam?? I hope not.
As Zack had mentioned that Putin was willing to stop the war, as Putin did Not want Nuclear Weapons from NATO on his border, Zelenskyy refused and so we see the outcome. Personally I’m tried of my tax dollars going to this war! Trudeau has in essence depleted our military.
Has Z comprehended he’s not dealing with a Biden-Obama administration? I agree with Kenneth Lee that Z walked into the meeting thinking he was the stud & could walk on Trump & Vance as he did Biden. Hope he has seen reality. Hope his Obama “advisors” also saw reality. Each is now persona non grata in our WH.
I believe there are sufficient flags to keep us busy while the rest of the world makes damn sure the AMERICAN DOLLAR is no longer worth a CENT. The proverbial poop is about to hit the fan & it is going to be a slaughter. People do NOT pay attention, nor do they pay attention to history. WE make the same mistakes time and again. Way too much upheavel. And that meeting with the Rhino Repubs & democrats prior to the Trump, Vance, ‘Z’ meeting should have been a warning. MY POV.
Zelenskyy is a has-been actor/comedian and now a dictator among a pantheon of authoritarian thugs. Leftist loons in the West, buoyed by the complicit media, share his ideology. The enemy within expect the entire world to believe that a never-ending war costing hundreds of thousands of lives and draining a fortune of taxpayer dollars down a bottomless sinkhole will end well. This is delusional lunacy. It’s time for cool heads and common sense to prevail.
To: William & Vickie McCoy from Texas: Howdy! You’re the “Real McCoy” ~ I totally agree with you 100% / And…And…And…Howard, another top-notch excellent Editorial. Thank You for telling it like it is.
America first is Trumps calling card. Pay us first for all we’ve spent we’re broke. Why would we commit to a war in the future that no one wants. The mineral deal would put Americans and American companies on the ground in Ukraine and that would deter Russia from invading because the US would defend their interest.
EXACTLY Howard! Zelensky the Con-Artist is milking America. He needs to be held accountable for the Ukraine WAR! Michael Seery is correct…but Z, wants money and really doesn’t give a damn about the Ukraine people. If Zelensky cared about the people he would have taken the Trump deal full stop! Where does Z. keep his Bank Acct’s…that will tell the story!
I disagree.Zelenskyy thought that Trump had no option but to give him what he wanted because by rejecting Ukraine, Trump would appear to be siding with Russia, the absolute worst scenario for Trump to again have to ‘deny’.Trump and Vance choreographed tge meeting with the Oval Office packed with government people and media with cameras. They set up Zelenskyy to show the world what a conniving rat he is.Right down to the temerity of the press asking the question about Zekenskyy’s attire.WinTru
Canada, a day of reconning, let’s see, if our politicians can show some interprovincial and open up to eliminate barriers and get the pipelines built
Prior to the oval office meeting, the Fetterman-like attired comedian had another meeting that was not publicized. So we now know Zelenskyy is a puppet of the dems, who will do anything to stop Trump
Not that I like Putin, but am less a fan of Zelensky. When the US & Europe sent money & weapons-munitions, I think he realized it was a great way to enrich himself. And Biden was an easy mark to elicit multiple $$Billions for the ‘war effort’. Not to mention the war revealed Europe’s inability to defend itself if needed, depending instead on the US & NATO to do their fighting for them if it came to that. Russia & Iran aren’t much of a threat now, & China won’t go it alone.
Zoom out!—Think outside the box–Consider that we are being influenced by GOD to fulfill HIS agenda. “The world wonders”, may not be just be an unintended addition to a historic communication that influenced historic events.
Read your last ed together w/today, interesting, seems most everyone is dumping on Z. The WH debacle, not presidential w/Vance provoking Z a reaction, or staged, raised Trumps ire to berate Pres Z like a schoolboy. It has soured US relations w/Europe, & not the least w/Canada w/pending 25% tariffs. Trump is not the congenial promise of things to come pre-election, looking more like a bully. The mineral deal? Remember Kissinger, “If we want it we’ll take it” 👎🏻 I’m not a Z or P fan but
Meanwhile, Donald Trump intends to give Canada and Mexico a 25% tariff by next Tuesday. Howard, life is short and we are merely passing through. Why can’t we all just get along? Live and Let Live. There is no reason to have animosity between our countries. What happend to Love Thy Neighbour?
William Conlon is absolutely correct. Canada’s singular mantra should be the building of pipelines coast to coast and the elimination of inter-privincial trade barriers, to which I would add, cancel the F-35 planes order and buy the Eurofighter Typhoon while building up our military for defence against a blatantly grasping neighbour who needs our water, our resources and our land.
