Putin's mistake

The invasion of the Ukraine has appalled and astounded us all. Russia has encountered surprisingly tough resistance, both militarily and from the nation as a whole. A strong and inspirational leader has underpinned national resolve. Some would say it has been a huge mistake for Putin and that he is in a corner. Others say no, it's all part of the plan. I examine both views.

The series "Yes or no in five minutes" supplements the "Two Sides to every Question" series (https://bit.ly/2Esq2tF) , which addresses a number of important issues, mainly moral and philosophical, which we all have to wrestle with from time to time. My belief is that every issue of any consequence has plausible and sometimes even thoughtful positions on both sides of the question. What I am doing is to try and rehearse the two or three principal yes or no answers for each and then topping that off, where appropriate, with my own opinion. When you think about it, the world would probably be a better place if everyone accepted that there are Two Sides to Every Question.

My promise to you is that I will keep it simple and jargon free. Too often, when I have examined difficult questions, especially in religion and philosophy, the academic frameworks and terminology used are so arcane that they are barely comprehensible. I will speak in plain language and be sufficiently brief that the point will be clear.

I hope you are stimulated, helped, and even entertained.

I doubt my Facebook page would be of interest as it is largely devoted to pictures of birds, grandchildren, and Mary and me on walking days. You may however enjoy my Wisdom from Grandpa series on Instagram.
