I HAVE A DREAM

Well, I had one, anyway, nothing like M. L. King’s, though. I dreamed last night that all our diplomats were ordered home from Russia, and I see today that American citizens in that country are being advised to leave “immediately”.

Yesterday they were advised to leave to avoid conscription into the Russian army, but the word “immediately” was missing. Today our government is saying they should leave because of the “unpredictable consequences” of Russia’s continued invasion of Ukraine.

While I grant that war is always unpredictable, the latest poll of Ukrainians say that almost 90% want to keep fighting even if Russia drops a nuclear bomb on a Ukraine city. That should give anyone pause. It sounds like they’re expecting it to happen. Could that be the reason for the Leave Immediately order?

Probably not, or I’d like to think so anyway. Ordering our diplomats home would change my mind though.
