Berletic: war in Asia?

Berletic doesn’t post everyday like the Duran or Ritter or many others— he does his homework. He also doesn’t do a lot of discussions like this. He says he doesn’t feel he’s very good at it. I disagree. In addition, he chooses excellent guests with names you rarely hear. What they say has real substance.

This video is simply superb. A must watch.

I won’t comment tonight. Suffice to say, I got a lot out of it - and immediately went to work using some of the ideas which it generated for me to add to my Putin article.

Chappy and little friend

This one for Chappy fans.

Chappy is an unusually playful and sweet cat, not only good with kittens but with older cats as well.

He is still a feral cat, of course, very timid with human beings, and would not be suitable in an ordinary Japanese home, if the people were not familiar with feral cats, didn’t know how to think like a cat and weren’t willing to bear the costs of dealing with a drug resistant parasite.

Or, so the Shelter thought, which is why they bent the rules for me despite my being a.) too old at 78 b.) not married. Of course, I lied, but the Shelter Mommy clearly knew when she brought him to my place!

I’m lucky. Thankful to her.

I am also thankful to the many people who have written comments of encouragement here on Substack or sent messages on the buymeacoffee site.

Thank you.
