Young man’s sale booth on a main street in Prague, new Czech Republic. 1989.  Sobering picture<\/div>\n
when his goods are examined closely.  How the mighty have fallen.!<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
There is a  larger meaning here.  In 1989, with the speed of summer lightning, all the uniforms of <\/div>\n
the Red Army were suddenly of  no value\u2026just tokens for sale on a side street.  It was this<\/div>\n
collapse that drove Vladimir Putin into the madness we see today, March 4, 2022, in my humble opinion.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
I do not mean these folderol dolls.  They were always for sale in street markets.  The sudden appearance of other<\/div>\n
marketable goods is clear below.  I REPEAT.  How the mighty have fallen.<\/div>\n

Suddenly all the insignia of the Soviet Union was up for sale.  Just scrap.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Message:  Upheavals are not slow\u2026sometimes they come with  suddenness that<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
races ahead of complete understanding.  And thousands, millions of people get hurt as we are witnessing today. Lives are changed forever.  This has happened often in world history.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
AND TODAY OVER 1 MILLION PEOPLE HAVE FLED UKRAINE\u2026.ABANDONING ALL THEY OWNED.  WILL ANY EVER RETURN?  WHAT WILL BE LEFT TO RETURN TO?<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
