On Monday the UN will

hold a meeting of the Security Council regarding the "maintenance of peace and security of Ukraine." This will happen at 10 am. ET.

Then, at 3pm ET, there will be a meeting to discuss the maintenance of international peace and security, and implementation of UN resolutions 2532 and 2565.

2532 (2020) has to do with a global ceasefire. 2565 (2021) also calls for ceasefire. Both of these resolutions have to do with fighting Covid-19, and vaccinations. So, there are two parts to the agenda in the afternoon.

I don't know what in the world they will talk about at 7 am my time. "Maintenance of Peace and Security?" My G-d, are they going to talk about sending in Peacekeepers? This is the UNSC; it can't be that. Russia has a long history of marching in as a "peacekeeper" and never leaving. Or, are they going to discuss kicking Russia off the SC? I'd like that!

Just don't let it be another round of, Russia, you are so naughty speeches...maybe they can get Russia to actually quit the UN. Please have some VERY HARSH WORDS for Russia on Monday.

I want the world shown pictures of the victims at the train station. I want them to vote on something. I wanna hear China say, Oh, it is really deplorable that this happened, and it does upset the economic flow of commerce, and oh by the way, it is ghastly that the QUAD now exists, just awful...I wanna hear India abstain in order to avoid pissing off their good friend Russia.

I want Ukrainian fighters trained in the most up to date weapons systems we have. I want them to receive them NOW. That's my idea of "maintenance of peace and security in Ukraine."

Grrrr....
