THERE IS A SAMENESS TO THE ACTIONS OF MILITARISTIC GOVERNMENTS AND THE ACTIONS OF VANDALS AND THIEVES IN ONE'S NEIGHBORHOOD OR ONE'S FAMILY. IS ALL OF THAT BAD BEHAVIOR PREMEDITATED TORTURE?

PUTIN IS LAYING WASTE TO THE FARMS AND THE BUILDINGS IN THE UKRAINE.

THE DEVASTATED UKRAINE LOOKS VERY SIMILAR TO MY OLD HOUSE SITE AND THE DEFORESTED AND STRIPPED  LAND.

THE ISRAELIS DUG HUGE DITCHES IN FRONT OF THE PALESTINIANS' HOUSES.

THE DITCH IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE IS WAY DEEPER AND MUCH WIDER AND IT GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH MY MEADOW FOR HUNDREDS OF FEET.

THE ISRAELIS TORE UP PALESTINIAN FARM LAND.

THE LAND IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE SITE WAS THICKLY COVERED IN TOPSOIL WHICH STRETCHED 300 FEET TO THE ROAD. THAT FERTILE SOIL IS GONE, ONLY INFERTILE HARD PAN CLAY WAS LEFT.
