Russia askes Roger Waters to speak at U.N: https://www.msn.com/en-au/news/world/russia-asks-pink-floyd-s-roger-waters-to-speak-on-ukraine-arms-at-un/ar-AA17dORm?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=1d1f6f09449b4135ba9724940db7d527

Can't imagine that will solve anything. (Roger Waters post)
The death toll from the earthquakes is rising rapidly. Those people are in dire straits. No water, no food, no shelter, no clothing. Must be an absolute nightmare for them.

A desperate situation - https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/02/08/world/turkey-syria-earthquake#little-aid-is-reaching-syria-the-un-says

yes a tragedy for sure.
RE: I read the news today, oh boy! - Ruby - 12-02-2023
Has anyone listened to this address? Wow - that's telling them. My sentiments exactly re the war machine.
(Sorry CH - just saw your post re this)

no problem Ruby
i havent actually seen the speech he gave, only media reports of it so i will watch it tomorrow after work when i have some time
RE: I read the news today, oh boy! - JeromeD - 12-02-2023
Just watched this speech. He is, of course, right. But those fools sitting around the table are not going to heed his words. To do so would mean that all this time they have not been doing the right thing. Something they will never admit to.
Money
So they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise
It's no surprise
They're giving none away
RE: I read the news today, oh boy! - Ruby - 12-02-2023
Yes - and I'll give him this - his stance has been consistent. Of course they won't listen - unfortunately, and for many reasons - none of which are actually any good when you examine them - largely tied up with ego and pride.
As an aside 'money is the root of all evil' is a misquote - it's 'the love of money is the root of all evil' - just sayin' - apologies for the pedantry Mr Waters!! I concede - it wouldn't have been as punchy lyrically speaking.
