Putin will retreat

                                                [This post was updated on Cinco de Mayo 2022]

The Perfect War

War is painful. Peace is pleasant. Life is a battle between pain and pleasure. Pain is always transient. In the long run, pleasure wins always in all ways and all the time. That is what we call progress. Putin made a costly mistake in invading Ukraine. The West (United States, the European Union, and Great Britain) are backing Ukraine all the way.  Ukraine's fighters are inspired and fighting from the moral high ground. Putin's conscripts and old soviet machines do not stand a chance. Putin is facing a potential coup orchestrated by the armed forces, the intelligence community, and the judges. The war is a fiasco and is threatening to bankrupt Russia. Russians will want to get rid of Putin to stop the humiliating  If Putin is as smart as Trump says that he is, he will retreat out of Ukraine as soon as possible. The West will billions in the reconstruction of Ukraine.

Putin's collapse

One man against the world. A multinational coalition against a one man dictatorial conscription. Who do you think will win? Putin does not stand a chance. 

It would be different if Russians were fighting to defend their homeland. They would be fighting with the same Ukrainian spirit and from the same moral high ground from which Ukraine and the West are fighting today. Instead, Putin's soldiers are fighting for depreciated rubles and Vodka spirits. That is never enough to win a war. 

Moral high ground

Ukraine and the West are fighting from the moral high ground. Putin is fighting from a moral abyss. Humanity has seen this story unfold countless times in our epic history. In the end, the abysmal dictator goes down. Free people and inspired fighters prevail.

Putin's miscalculation  

Putin miscalculated the consequences of his "special military operation". Putin does not call it "war" because even the misinformed and under educated Russian population would know that an unprovoked war in Ukraine is unjustified. Putin's regime has gone an extra mile to disinform, going as far as criminalizing the use of the term "war" to describe the invasion of Ukraine. That is a sign of desperation from an authoritarian regime in the brinks of collapse.

The West and China win

One side's loss is another side's win. Contrary to conventional thinking, China is siding with the West.  The West is China's best customer and trading partner. Russia is a supplier and a nuclear menace. A weaker Russia is beneficial to China, the West, and the whole world. 

Putin is making it easy for Russia to become weaker and poorer.  For his own survival, Putin must retreat from Ukraine. Putin will declare victory by stating that his special operation weakened the "Nazis" and stopped the genocide of Russians. He will then retreat and try to retain power in the Kremlin.

Christian Abortions

Christian women should vote for Democrats to protect the sacred right to medically sound and compassionately humane abortions in the United States. Guaranteeing access to proper abortions under adequate medical care is not only a human right, but also a Christian obligation. Christian entrepreneurs should also tap into the untouched business opportunity of promoting Christian abortions.  Slap is food for thought. Take more at  TakeSlap.com   Christian faith stands for the belief in a heavenly father who loves his children on Earth. When that heavenly father sends one of his daughters a gift of life, daughters should feel loved and empowered to safely, kindly, and humanely return the gift to the father if desired. The heavenly father is not a monster or or sadistic deity.  The heavenly father will understand and appreciate the safe return of the unborn soul to heaven. The heavenly father will not want his daughter to suffer and will not want the soul to be in the wron...

Elon Musk is a Trump wannabe

                                                            [This post was updated on April 25, 2022.] Is Musk a Trump wannabe?  You bet.  Unfortunately, he was born in South African and is not a natural born American.  Therefore, he cannot run for President of the United States. Money is addictive. Power is even more addictive than money. Money is addictive because your primate brain gets big dopamine payloads imagining the pleasures that money can buy for you. Power is more addictive than money because your brain gets an even higher dopamine payload imagining all the pleasures (including money) that power can get for you.   That is the case for everyone, including you. However, the attraction to money and power is even stronger in the brains of billionaires for two reasons: (i) they ...

Democracy is better than war

Politics is the best sport on Earth. Democracy is not perfect; it's simply a substitute for war. For democracy to work, the loser of the contest must accept defeat. All sitting presidents of the United States who have lost elections while in power have accepted defeat except one, Trump. Mounting evidence against Trump coming from the January 6th Hearings seems to indicate that Trump planned a violent coup to stay in power even after knowing that he had lost the elections. If that is the case, Trump should be indicted and prosecuted to preserve the rule of law and secure the future of democracy. Slap is food for thought. Take more at TakeSlap.com Democracy vs war In the old days, political power was gained by waging war. Opposing groups would go to battle. Whoever won the war would get the political power. All major civilizations developed their status by becoming experts at war.  Whoever had the best armies and weapons would typically win. That is still the case to this date, and t...
