The first thing he noticed when his senses began to desert him was that certain things, new things, were beginning to fall through the cracks.
Not the usual streak, for a man of extraordinary wisdom and remarkable wit. He should not have made that broadcast; a foolish mistake. An arrogance that, to him, felt amateurish. After all these years, to still be affected by the vanity... ah, well. There would be despots remembered on worse terms.
This was how he had felt, before. Before the swelling of his neck, and the retinal hemorrhages. Before the symptoms, the surgery - before the loss of his vision. Before it had dawned on him what was happening - or, for a man of his nature, perhaps much too long after.
He raised himself slowly from his armchair; felt the pressure building in his knees. Even in this state, he looked un-crooked, aligned, straight somehow, despite the bend in his spine.
He did his best to look out of the window, and remember the view as he had once seen it, the streets with their humming silences, the buildings that quietly nurtured their histories.
The world as it was…

----------Giulietto Chiesa, an Italian journalist since 2014 too, was talking about West intervention and the coup probably organised by the US. He also added that Ukraine is where War World Three could start (or started).
Bill Blum----So why are you and others like you in mainstream media creating the same mentality that started the First World War (and the Cold War)?…….That is, demonizing Putin and Russia instead of showing the history and motivation of Western invasion and interference in Ukraine. Then ask why NATO even exists in a post Cold War world.------------------Late Bill Blum wrote a book called the ROGUE STATE. He had worked for USA government but left and became a writer etc!?!?
