Two Opinions, One Love?


Ingo thinks different of Ukraine that me.
He states it´s the most  corrupt country in the world.
 
Hm. I had a customer from  Kyiv. Sexy, but... he cheated on the job. Is Ingo right?
I met the man in person, he was nice to me, handsome, silly, a normal being, like you and me -  and then cheated so much, it was found out. Sad. He quit the job - he was not thrown out, he was man enough to quit. I have no idea what was next. 
 
He... tried to help, rented a bus, a long story, we all helped.
He was a good man after all. 
 
Hm, we - Germany - had a "chancellor", who "found" DM 10 000 "in his pocket" and look at other countries.
 
If Ukraine falls we all fall. Hence I helped...
 
 
 and got this back...
 
 
As example and yes you  find my real name in there, too.
You can decide if you wanna send the card to the soldiers or to the president, the money helps - it´s not too expensive, I can afford it. 
We don´t go to the cinema, seldom pub etc, we live a simple life. 
 
You fill in an online-form, this is not my handwriting as some of you, who got old-fashioned paper-letters from me, might see.  
 
 
 
Can two people who love each other disagree so much.... do you "fight" the same sometimes?
 
Ukraine did nothing bad. In my eyes. They want to become part of Europe.
If "we" say no, then evaluate who is a worthy member in general, are even we? 
 
Look at our Chickens politicians (sorry, chickens are sweet animals, social and no cowards at all - try to fight one - they are honest and get no money for their really tough work!) ... look at who "rules" Germany - are "we" worth it to be member of EU? Sorry for all the "".
But our politicians give themselves so much money for no work... can you call that "corrupt"? 
 
Politics drive me nuts. And no, I cannot do the job, either!
 
I wrote these "cards" long ago. 
And the war goes on and on - they speak of genocide. 
 
This is for Tom´s Signs2.
 
Addendum!!!! Just found this online:
Russia NEEDS Railway, intern they get destroyed, no people harmed, many war-machines stopped...
 

 

 

There is hope, right?  Hope for freedom, peace, security... They finally stand up!
Wish we and others who are disappointed with their political system did, too...    
But.... coward me does not...

I agree Ukraine should be part of the EU and I wish the fighting would stop so that can happen. I think country "at war" isn't allowed to join and maybe that is why Putin keeps the war going?

Bertiebo said...

You are right and so is Henry

Iris Flavia said...

I hope Putin stops soon cause now his own people go against him.

Iris Flavia said...

Yes....

Jeanie said...

You can love people but not like everything they believe. It's not a deal-breaker but sometimes it makes it hard. Every country has corrupt people. That doesn't always make the country corrupt. Like you, I support Ukraine in this war and their desire to be part of NATO. They are trying so very hard with so little.

Kathylorraine said...

I think Russia is trying to get back when they lost during ww 2-not acceptable of course. Ukraine needs a different president for sure-have seen articles that he is making lots of money from this war

magiceye said...

You have provided a lot of food for thought.

Tom said...

...Iris, has the say, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Giorgio said...

mmm ... how can Russia, which has a population of 144 million, invade/destroy European countries that have a population of 500 million? ... The answer is : brainwashing.
In 2022 Pope Francis said that NATO “barking” at Russia’s door may have led to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Iris Flavia said...

100% yes, nothing more to say other than thank you!

Iris Flavia said...

I only hope war is over soon! And hasn´t Putin by now enough?

Iris Flavia said...

You´re welcome.

Iris Flavia said...

I listened to the thousand words, Tom.

Iris Flavia said...

Germany is very close and Putin was already in Berlin before the wall fell - of course are some afraid here...

Barbara Rogers said...

Sad that the Ukraine has suffered so much by Russian invasion...I along with all my friends would like to see that war stop. It's hard to imagine how it will happen.

DVArtist said...

I agree with you and Giorgio. I have a lot of respect for Ukrainian people and president. Is that stuff on your hand, what we call, "silly putty?" I used to love playing with that. Have a good day, Iris.

Iris Flavia said...

Fighting the system is a start. I hope they succeed.

Iris Flavia said...

Putin started ihe war with lies, I think.
Yes that thing in the hand (from the internet) we called it "Slimey", I think?

My name is Erika. said...

I like that visual a lot. Even though I get the situation, pictures always help me. I have a friend who worked for a year in Ukraine. He says the people there are the kindest. But like every place, there are good and bad people. Hope you're having a super Wednesday. hugs-Erika

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, corruption as we well as good and people - it´s a mix. It was a great day indeed, thank you, hugs - hope yours was as successful :-)

CJ Kennedy said...

Hope is a form of resistance. Lots all keep hoping. 🐸

Lowcarb team member said...

... and there are many who want and pray for peace.

All the best Jan

Jackie McGuinness said...

I stand behind Ukraine!

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

Dear friend Iris, I also stand behind Ukraine! Putin should never have started this war! And Henry looks fantastic!

peppylady (Dora) said...

I have list of people I wish would just vanish on world stage.

Iris Flavia said...

So yes!

Iris Flavia said...

Yes, and freedom... For the Russians to say what they want!

Iris Flavia said...

That is good!

Iris Flavia said...

Dear friend Linda, yes, Putin started with lies... I hope he freaks out now and lets go...

Iris Flavia said...

I do, too...

River said...

I had heard there were rebels in Russia going against Putin, but did not know how many. Hooray for them. I hope he learns soon that his own people wish the war to end.

Giorgio said...

So glad to see that some people understand what's going on in Ukraine. There are evidence that since 2022 Zelensky have bought a lot of land in Ohio, Wyoming, etc ... not to mention of his mansions in Florida (U.S.) and Tuscany ( Italy). I hope he will be judged by his own people.
In the meanwhile, we, EU'S taxpayers, still continue to send money to the Kyiv's corrupt system.

Giorgio said...

Ukraine amended its constitution in 2019 to include joining NATO and the EU as strategic goals ... it's easy to understand who was behind those amendments, considering that in 2014 the democratic elected president, Viktor Yanukovyc, was ovethrown.

Giorgio said...

I agree with River, as countires "at war" aren't allowed to join NATO. That's why Israel is not a NATO member yet.

Iris Flavia said...

Big, big YES to that!!

Iris Flavia said...

I just wish we could stop all wars and just be fine with each other, help and respect one another... But unlikely that happens.
