Submission to @pheonixwren's Share Some Hope Contest

@phoenixwren asked the blockchain to share something that gave you hope. Something came to my attention very recently that gave me hope, in perhaps an odd fashion, that WWIII might not be right around the corner. It came from an interview of Col. Douglas MacGregor. In it he was asked how the resignation of Victoria Nuland from the US Administration should be taken?

He felt it was a signal that the USA was preparing to wash its hands of Ukraine; as they have done with other lost causes like Viernam or, more recently, Afghanistan. Guess there can be hope in the fact that the Ukraine conflict may be winding down, yet that is not where my true hope began.

He was then asked what he thought Biden meant in his State of The Union address when he said, "... there are no American soldiers of war who are in Ukraine."

The Col. suggested that what was meant was that there were no American soldiers organized into fighting formations. He suggested there would be numbers of people helping and supporting Ukraine Forces; be that aide with training or even on site guidance with the more complex weapon systems which have been supplied by NATO, but these would not be considered the traditional boots on the ground.

He then went on to add that there would never be USA boots on the ground, or indeed any NATO Members' forces, because they don't have them to send! The infastructure does not exist to supply an army if you had one. "The Russians are ready to fight ; we aren't."

Shall we turn back the count down clock?

Rain Delay called on WWIII!
