Now here's a topic that my late father said was one of the things not to talk about in company but I'm not in company so I can write about it. Well I'm always mentioning Ukraine because I feel so strongly about what's happening in that country as I was in Croatia from 1991 when the same thing happened, we've got the UN, NATO and the European Union all arguing about the war in Ukraine but can't they all see the big picture of what is in Putins mind and thoughts for the future of Russia, there's only one way to look at it and that is that he is a dictator of a communist country where what ever he says goes like accusing Ukraine of the massacre in the concert hall but why should Ukraine do that, it's not in their best interests because the world would then turn against Ukraine so it's absolute rubbish but Putin says he has proof probably in his own mind because he may have conducted the massacre himself but of course no one thinks about that, everyone believes that it was ISIS what a load of bull.... People are killed in Russia just for opposing him but nobody says anything about it, he's getting rid of certain high ranking officers who aren't doing what they should or make a mistake that cost Putin dearly so they dissappear into another job or just dissappear. The world is doing less and less to help Ukraine and they are now losing ground everywhere because the free west isn't helping them anymore with both financial and military aid, all they talk about is nothing, America who in the beginning was helping Ukraine the most is now in termoil because of the upcoming elections which has nothing to do with the lives that are being lost every day in Ukraine as their battle weary troops are running out of all sorts of ammunition that will help them push Putin back to where he belongs, the only one that I can see that understands the situation is Macron and France, maybe Germany and a few other countries who are not as rich as America or the UK, why are they helping because they will be next if Ukraine falls into the hands of Putin just as Hitler wanted in the last century and then there will be more dead just because politicians are arguing about whether to help or not,Japan learnt a terrable lesson in WW11 but went on to become a better and more prosperous country so why not help Ukraine and teach Putin a lesson so that Ukraine can become democratic and a member of the west, I really don't know or understand but all I do know is that Ukraine will fall into the hands of Putin in the future and what will happen next, that's a question for everyone to think about and hopefully come to the right conclusion and that is to stop Putin now by helping Ukraine defeat the Russian hoard and perhaps then we can all get back to living peacefully as before without the threat of nuclear war hanging over our heads daily. The world needs to act as one as was the idea of the UN and NATO when they were set up but why aren't they doing just that, are they afraid of Putin or what, we the world have to act as one and stop him now once and for all and send a warning to any would be dictators not to mess with the free world or they will pay the price just as I hope Putin will.

Ninth installment

The remains of the unit that were in this position left and we followed them, we went around the outskirts of the village and back into the center. The rest of PIV or what was left of it were already there, we found out that Colin just after he had reached the main hq in the center of the village. We had to go back to the end of the street to see what was happening but as soon as we arrived we came under heavy fire as the enemy had pinpointed this house as our new front line, there was no way that we could reach Eric without getting everyone who attempted a rescue killed and because of the amount of enemy fire we had to fall back, on the way Alan started going berserk saying that he had to go back to fight, he was shooting everywhere so George calmed him down and asked him to take care of the elderly and that seemed to work. By now the village command had decided it was time to leave but first we had to wait for the mortar unit to reach safety. We could not get anywhere near under cons...

Third installment

Day in, day out, it was the same routine, sleep, guard, fire off a few rounds in the general direction of the enemy, there was not much else to do, the main thing was to stay alive by keeping inside every time mortars or artillery came flying in to the village. The only time that there was a lot of activitie was when we were buzzed by planes, everybody would rush outside, Ernie would jump on the transporter and fire the machine gun, I used to run to the machine gun that was mounted on a tripod at the end of the street and also fire at the plane, everybody else would be outside firing their ak47s, there was not much chance of hitting it or bringing it down but it took only one lucky shot and that would give everyone hope. After the plane had gone out of sight that the transporter was Ernies because he had shot at the enemy leaving the damaged transporter with a sniper rifle, so Geordi the commander in charge of the defense of Osijek had given it to Ernie, I also found out that he worked...

Second installment

The word money has a way of working it's way into every aspect of life and my little crusade was not exempt, how much did I need to get to Croatia, how much did I need to survive on the way, it all had to be taken into account and most where and how I was going to get the money from that I needed. By inquiring at travel agents I found out that I could fly but only as far as Austria, Italy or Hungary but the price was much too expensive for me. Taking the train to any of these countries was also far too expensive, the cheapest way was by bus but the only problem was that it took so long to reach your destination. The bus that I wanted to take went from London and it's destination was Athens in Greece, it normally went through Yugoslavia but because of the war it was not going through Budapest then down into Belgrade before going onto Greece. This was the cheapest way to go and after further inquiries I found out the times and price of the bus, now all I had to do was get the mon...
