Things continue to be a Mess on this front. I'm watching with great concern the war in Ukraine as it's getting bloodier and bloodier with each passing day.

I'm also angry about the fact that out delicate international position prevents us from actually assisting in the fight against Russia. Because, we do have some of the most sophisticated defense weapons in the world, but we are not able to provide them for Ukraine's defense.

Because if we do, Russia will turn on us in force, and our defense and even survival is dependent on our activates in Syria and Iran. The one think we have learned, acutely,is that Israel can't expect or depend on support from the world, the US included, in case of a war with Iran.

Anyhow, it's painful for me, cause I really yearn to be able to help them. Politics are so dirty sometimes. They really are.

I am not sure if Bennet is still in a good negotiation position, but I pray he is doing something at least on that front.

Sigh

Fifth day to the war on Ukraine. And I am more worried then ever. I trust Putin just am much as I trust Trump,regarding their ability to restain themselves from misusing their nuclear arsane. Just the thought of Putin sitting there with his thumb on the nuclear switch...shudders .

Meanwhile I continue the struggle on both the mental and the physical fronts. I am utilizing several cognitive tool in order to monitor my statuse, attempting to improve my limited ability to be aware of my own limits and ability to function. Slight improvement there, but it will take at least 10 more days to improve,and a lifetime workout to maintain some stability. I've managed to build up a tiny amount of hope and self compassion, mostly through the wonderful mindfulness course with Jack Cornfield. I've loved him since the first time I read The Wise Heart, and hearing his actual voice is some experience. Highly recommended. (If anyone wants a link let me know).

So,that's that for now. Still little progress on the CFS front, but at least I understand how to pace myself now, and that's definitely an improvement. Considering my very low starting point this one will take at least a year,probably more.

Here's for hoping for a good night's sleep.

Am somewhat between being unhappy and angry regarding the whole mess, thus this is the closets icon I've to express myself right now. (I'm relearning dreamwidth and still do not understand how to create new icons)

Anyhow, the latest update is that Russia is unwilling to seat to the damn negotiation table, whether with Israel as a mediator or another country. How very surprising, is it not?

Am not too happy with our own government,also. The way I see it, is that we are doing to the Ukrainians precisely what we dread will happen to us in case Iran goes nuclear: That is, zit. Nil.Nothing.

No, we will not have the legitimacy to cry to the US and the West about breaking promises. Not when we stand by doing nothing, because (an understandable,logical but cold) need to "walk between the drops".

I understand the Why. I see the Logic behind it, as I have quite a bright mind despite all my numerous physical and mental issues, not to mention my repeating addictive patterns.

It's just...sad.

I usually check up news every few hours or so. The last batch made me blink just a little bit...

apparently the Ukrainians with Israel to negotiate between them and the Russians.

I find it somewhat ironic that Israel, one of the world's worst war zones, a CPTSD nation, with be able to negotiate peace treaty between other nations.

But perhaps, exactly for that reason, we might be able to do that. And also Zelensky is correct in saying that Israel does have good relationships with both countries.

If that will indeed happen, it will be interesting to watch

So. My husband Opher and I are relaxing with one of the kitties between us. he mentions that our X Prime Minister is involved in yet another scandal.

After a bit,our thoughts turn toward the war.

I said. "With Bibi so very much corrupt, no wonder he and Putin were such buddies. I swear, those two are so much alike they could be brothers."

He said "oh, yesss, I can just see them sitting together and drinking Vodka"

I rolled down laughing: " yes,I have a better one for you. How about taking those two, adding Trump into the gang, and send them off in a boat"?

He said. " yeah, that's a wonderful idea. Take the most corrupt leaders and send them of in a boat to rot. Or at least, until the first of them will drink his ass off. My bet is on Putin drinking himself to death. "

I replied: " And then we might finally shut off that stupid war. Let's add Bibi and then perhaps we might have peace..."
