Ukrainian President Zelensky Address to Congress

Rob Roy said:

So, if I offered to arbitrate peace negotiations between the interested parties and everyone agreed, would you say Putin gets out of the parts of the Ukraine that weren't in their domain historically if the USA gets out of Hawaii..
...Would that be a fair offer?

Or is the goose gonna get world bennies the gander isn't ? I think there's the crux of the biscuit!

Yes I do think Biden wants me to be free. I also have no evidence Zelensky wants me to not be free. I personally like Zelensky from what Ive seen of him, and from what my friends family in Ukraine says about him. I think hes got bigger balls than 99% of any other leaders in the world. Most leaders would have looted the treasury, and fled the country, vs staying there and fighting. Zelensky is a true patriot, and leader.
And like said. I have a friend from Ukraine, and he is one of the most respected guitar pedal effects builders in the world, and his family keeps him informed about whats going on in Ukraine. And he tells me what they say. I also have a friend who adopted 2 children from Ukraine. Im 100% behind Zelensky, and the Ukranian people. Im 10000% against fucking Putin, and his invading ass. He should be hanged from the highest tree, and stopped at all costs. He has threatened all of Europe that he will unleash nuclear weapons. He needs to be stopped in his tracks. Sooner, rather than later, and before he gets a chance to invade other countries. Hes already on record as wanting to reassemble the old USSR, and this means invading other free countries.
And I agree that we should keep out word to protect Ukraine. They got rid of their nukes for us, to make Europe a safer place. They sacrificed their safety on our word we would protect them. They kept their word, so we should keep ours.

AND FREE, DOESNT MEAN YOUR ARE FREE TO DO ANYTHING YOU WANT TO DO. Youre not free to rape, pillage,, and burn. Youre not freet to shoot a firearm in the city limits. Youre not free to keep farm animals where I am within the city limits. Youre not free to go into a grocery store, and take any product you want without paying for it. Freedom comes with limits.

Biden has also already said he will sign the MORE ACT, which will totally get rid of all my marijuana convictions. It will get rid of everyones marijuana convictions that were nonviolent. Even if you sold a million pounds a day, as long as it was nonviolent.
People elect officials to represent them. Like it or not, thats the way it is. Do I agree with everything they do? NOPE. But nobody agrees on everything 100% of the time.
If one cannot be trusted to their word, on a signed agreement, there would be no world wide trade, because nobody could trust each other.

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND.

Biden signing the MORE ACT will allow me to freely travel to any country I wish, because I will no longer have a record. As of now, there are few countries I can enter with a felony conviction. No less 4 felony convictions. I have no other felonies either. All of mine are marijuana related. All nonviolent. No firearms were ever found.

And yep a rat told on me. 3 times Ive been to prison because of a rat. But I also realize I was going against current law, and knew the consequences. Do I agree that weed should be illegal? NOPE, but again, I knew that I was breaking established law, and I also know people are obligated to break bad laws. Why do you think weed is now becoming more accepted?? Because they now realize they cant lock everyone up for it. But things arent going to change quickly.
Things are the way there are, and like it or not, people have to live in the circumstances they are given. How you wish things were, may not be reality. And its also a fact that for decades, the Majority of the American People, were against marijuana. Thats a fact. They didnt want it legal. But now the majority does want it legalized. Though people disagree what legalized means. That too will have to be sorted out, and not everyone is going to agree with what finally happens. Youre never going to make 100% of people happy.

I wonder if this will allow me to travel to the States? It was a US charge for importation 24 years ago and haven’t been back legally. I have many friends there and at the time owned property in Florida (don’t care to go there lol) .

I really dont know if that applies to you. It very well may. Did you get convicted of a Felony?? Did you spend time in a USA prison?

My guess is that if you were convicted of a nonviolent marijuana felony under USA jurisdiction, Ive not read anything that says you wouldnt be included if you arent a USA citizen. From what Ive read, it just says those who have been convicted of a nonviolent marijuana felony. Ive not seen any language that says it excludes non USA citizens.

1. Great name, jimi. I don't take it as not original, i take your use of that name as tribute to the greatest of all time.
2. You must be a guitar player. And your UK friend is a guitar pedal builder, how cool izzat.
3. And yep same here only 1x cuz of a rat.
Finally, you grow? You got balls my friend, balls of brass. I'm afraid to. It's legal here to sell at stores, and grow with
a license, but w/o a license or med card, it's illegal to grow. So i just buy the PGR crap at the stores. :sigh:

My wife and I have sent the Ukrainian Red Cross $500, and we also give them $50 a month through a credit card.

Also I was going to join the US Military in 1980, but I flunked the eye test.
