Hospital Hit

Yesterday I learned that a Maternity hospital was hit in a missile strike in Ukraine. At first I thought it was a missle glitch, later I learned that they were targeting the premises deliberately; the Russian military claim it was no longer an active hospital but was used as a military base. 

I'm my view, it was a very shocking thing to learn about. Infants are blameless, they don't even know what war is. The infants in the hospital are probably all new born babies. It is the last place anyone would want to be hit by missiles. 

Perhaps the people of Ukraine will teach the world a lesson. If they have guns and their mind set on remaining an independent nation, they will succeed and drive away the Russians. I wish them all good luck. It would be nice if everyone just sits down for a few days and works out a peace treaty that the two nations can sign and the war will be over. It is ordinary people that are suffering. 

What May 2021 means to me

May 2021 was about voting Brits, Pestilence, conflict and a river of fire in the Congo. 

For the past 4 years, Westminster has treated the Northern Irish as a fifth wheel or obstacle for Brexit, not like a Brother nation in the Kingdom. We had a general election this month and the results revealed that the 4 nations of the United Kingdom are on a different page as a result. 

Nationalist parties gained more seats in Northern Ireland, I imagined people that had marched through the Streets of Belfast in Orange all their lives to show their commitment to the Kingdom looking over their shoulder and voting for Sinn Fien or something like that. Perhaps the Island of Ireland will be one state in the near future. A similar thing was happening in Scotland. 

Later in the month there was an exchange of missile fire in Palestine and Israel, the conflict escalated almost to the point of a war but it remained a rumour, the Egyptians stepped forward to negotiate peace, they seem like the go-to guys for peace talks. 

The C19 virus mutated more and was killing more people in the world, I got vaccinated this month along with millions of other Brits. The Pestilence of the C19 virus is very devastating, I have lost some family members. 

Towards the end of the month, mount Nyiragongo erupted and released a river of lava that destroyed towns nearby. I think the lava eventually reached the city of Goma. Thousands of people fled the disaster in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. I wish them all peace and good health. 

Then finally at the last bit of the month it was my Dad's birthday, the west Booths and East Booths were reunited at our parents house for the first time in over a year. 

Happy Times ahead? I hope so.
