July 19 — When former President Donald Trump accepted the Republican nomination for President Thursday night — six days after being hit in the ear by a would-be assassin’s bullet, which was less than an inch away from being a kill shot — a frail President Joe Biden was in isolation, diagnosed with COVID, and under enormous pressure to end his campaign for re-election.  Lost in the midst of this drama is that Ukrainian soldiers are dying in large numbers daily in NATO’s proxy war against Russia, children are continuing to be slaughtered by Israel Defense Forces using U.S. weapons in Gaza and the West Bank, and NATO moved ahead with its plan for “Global NATO”  at its Washington, D.C. summit, committed to a confrontation with China in the not-distant future.  Each day, NATO forces are at the edge of crossing “red lines”, providing Ukraine’s shattered military with more powerful and longer-range missiles to target Russia, taking the risk that an “accident” could lead to an escalation, to the use of nuclear weapons.
