Hello Steve.
Our entire life is a discovery of what is real and what is false.
It's easier to detect where personal matters are concerned. I've experienced this lately.
However, it is very difficult to know among high ranking officials operating politically what is real and what is not.
Lately I've wondered if those in power in Iran blame the USA as a way to stay in power, or if their anger is justified, or whether it's both?
I wonder if there is a personal squabble between elitist fighting to maintain a type of sway and use the people as cannon fodder, producing their own conspiracies, as a way to distract their public and create a vanguard construed from a misguided majority?
I wonder if actions in one country are meant to send messages to another and I wonder if our own country blinds us from worldwide news to keep us ignorant of a ruling powers motives?
We can work on ourselves, contribute when we can, respond from our intuition and cultivate our Faith. If we're proven wrong in the long run, then we make the appropriate adjustments. Such grace should be applied for those responsible for high powered decisions, though we maintain our right to revoke such authority when we realize the folly of our own judgements.

Russian General Admits Ukraine Just a 'Stepping Stone' to Invade Europe
In a recent interview with Moscow's state-run Russia-1, a clip of which circulated widely on social media Saturday, Mordvichev said he believes Putin's war will last quite a long time and expand in the future.
"I think there's still plenty of time to spend. It is pointless to talk about a specified period. If we are talking about Eastern Europe, which we will have to, of course then it will be longer," the general said.
"Ukraine is only a stepping stone?" the interviewer then asked.
"Yes, absolutely. It is only the beginning," Mordvichev responded, who went on to say that the war "will not stop here."
This war will last for a long time, because we still need to liberate Eastern Europe, says Russian general and war criminal Andrei Mordvichev.The interview was recorded at the end of July this year and Mordvichev assumed that the Ukrainian counteroffensive would slow down by… Show more

Ahead of the invasion of Ukraine, Putin laid out a vision to reconstitute the long-defunct Russian Empire's territories into a unified block. The Russian leader and his allies have repeatedly said they do not view Ukraine as independent from Russia, saying that the sovereign nation should be brought back under Moscow's control.
Some of Putin's allies have often floated the possibility of expanding the Kremlin's invasion into NATO countries, including Poland and several other Eastern European nations. Analysts have citied the Russian president's vision and the suggestions to expand the war from his various allies as worrying signs that Moscow could push its military efforts beyond Ukraine.
NATO leaders have defended their military and humanitarian aide to Ukraine, saying their aim is to prevent Putin from pushing his forces further west into Europe. Eastern European nations, such as Poland, have been some of Ukraine's loudest defenders as their leaders fear their borders could be next to be challenged by Putin's forces.
Russian leaders claim that their Ukraine invasion was defensive to prevent NATO's expansion, and to protect Russian-speakers in Ukraine from "genocide." They claim that Kyiv's government is led by Nazis, while also saying that Ukraine is too supportive of LGBTQ+ rights.
Many view the Nazi claim as particularly bizarre. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is Jewish, and is himself a native Russian-speaker. During his 2019 election campaign he drew criticism for his accent when he spoke Ukrainian. At the time when Zelensky won and took office, Ukraine's prime minister was also Jewish.
