I've resisted writing about the outbreak of war in Israel. Several times today I thought about it and decided with all the moving parts (which I'll get to later) and the problem with getting decent amounts of verifiable information...
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the Annual U.N. General Assembly for the first time.  I watched live and it was a Tour de Force.  If you didn't see it please, please take fifteen minutes of your time and watch...
Wow.  Cuba of all countries openly politically and legally attacking Russia of all nations.  But as this story indicates that's exactly what has happened. Now, if you weren't born and grew up during the Cold War between the USSR (Russia)...
