RedFox Blog: Balancing Act

Post 833 23/4/21

Yesterday we were talking about the effects on our farming communities as the world weather gets warmer and the unusual dry month we are having. But the environment we have is also changing with the warming up of the climate. There are now insects that you would very rarely see in this part of the world now settling here. And the wildlife and insects that normally we see dying out. Birds that would normally be out and about now disappearing. The British summer is not what it used to be. And the environment is responding to this change.

Even plants are getting in on the act. The common flowers that are never seen here taking hold. And the normal plants we see are dying out. I very rarely see buttercups flowering but do now see wild orchids springing up. There is now a conservation project to catalogue all the lost specious of plant life that we used to see and to try and regrow some of them. A big project which may take many years to come to benefit our countryside. But then if we do not try then there is no gain. Never! give up come’s the moto. But can we reverse what is to be ?

Is War Looming ? 24/4/21

There is a big Russian build up on the Ukrainian border and the west are getting nervy about it. Although Ukraine is not a member of NATO it is allied to the alliance. and therefore in times of war NATO will supply arms to help the country defend itself. However is this a bluff. Something the president of Russia is doing to try and mediate with the west ? Although Ukraine are very observant about what is going on. The west are a little calmer about the situation. Because of the likely hood that if Vladimir Putin does try to invade it will pull the Americans in the conflict.

And! this is very dangerous. Because of the risk the America and Russia will then come to blows directly and a nuclear war could be triggered. This conflict no humans would survive and the world will then be at an end. It is not what the world really wants and the avoidance of any war is better. So is this a really a big bluff ? All I can say is lets hope so. Because the world will understand how low the relationship is at the moment between the Russians and the Americans. No country really wants a nuclear war between the two most powerful nations on earth.
