Youth will be served.

The younger generation will push its way upward and onward. It is a fact of life.

Youth will grow into mature adults with stops along the way through adolescence, young adulthood, responsibility with maturity, and offer a start to the next generation.

Variations in life include disease, pestilence, and wars. The youth today across the globe have been forced to endure the COVID-19, other diseases and in Ukraine war wrought by Vladimir Putin. Wars of sorts have staggered through history and always will be threats. Nonetheless, the world points an accusatory finger at Putin for his unnecessary war.

Although there is an element of politics over the conduct of war in Ukraine by U.S. politicians, the divide politically in today’s society in the U.S. will seek accusations rather than real solutions.

War occurs one step at a time and often by accident. There is little doubt here that Putin is not looking for a way out. He will recede only if he is forced by circumstances world-wide and within Russia.
