“You are not right, even when you are right, when the time is not right!”

But even though this statement is true, no one should stop trying!

That is why I decided to republish DAY 30 of my Ebook “Quarantine Diaries and Beyond.” It contains the link to the joint statement of President Putin and President Trump. This statement commemorates 75 years since the meeting of two armies at the Elba River in Germany. 2025 was the 80th year of that meeting, but the “time was not right” to be commemorated and celebrated again!

For the history, I projected without knowing at the time what slogan would be used, that three leaders, America’s Trump, Russia’s Putin,  and China’s Xi, will meet! The time in 2020 was not right, but now it looks like we are approaching the right time.

The cracks in that continent( Europe) have started and are very noticeable.  The financiers of the war in Ukraine are beginning to realize that the losses will be great. They are trying to prolong the war with the hope for some miracle.  This has been understood even before. But then, there were ideas to avoid war. The Big Three were attempting to meet one another. Then an epidemic occurred. The now famous virus, they claim, left the labs magically. It took a walk and did what needed to be done. Question is: Who benefited? The first significant action was prolonging China Congress. This would give power to President Xi for decades to come. After epidemic that has happened, but President Trump was replaced by another man. Today, we have a clearer picture, and it looks like that time, the right time, is approaching fast.

Below is what I was writing in April 2020… This includes a famous but not widely reported “rumour.” It is about the question “Grigory Vladimirovich Andropov-Fyodorov, later known as Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov.” As the then chairman of KGB, he asked all KGB officers around the world one strategic question.. I read about it some three decades ago, only once, and since nothing else has been said. Anywhere. You decide why!

Day 30
In the not so far 1990s, there was a significant shift in the world. The Soviet Union collapsed, the Warsaw pact ceased to exist, and Germany was united. Margaret Thacher opposed it fiercely but late! The so-called “Cold War” finished with USA President George Bush declaring the win for the USA and its allies. He mentioned the “New World Order.” Over the years, it took more human lives than today’s so-called corona epidemic multiplied by 10/20/30 times?
I remember one article in the mid-eighties, which was not repeated anywhere after. At least I did not recall seeing anything similar for a long time.
It was about Grigory Vladimirovich Andropov-Fyodorov. Later, he became known as Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov. At the time, he was a Chairman of the Committee for State Security, short KGB. There is a legend about him. It claims he ordered all residents of KGB in the world to reply to a simple question. That question was: What will happen if the Soviet Union disintegrates and the Warsaw Pact is abolished?
The reply of the majority of the residents, as legend says, I do remember.
It was as simple as the question.
Nothing! The strategic interests of Russia will strengthen over time.
Overtime!
That is how famous perestroika started!

The rest is known till 31/12/1999 when Mr. Vladimir Vladimirovic Putin is introduced to the highest office of the Russian Federation.
Russia started to rebuild itself.
There were many stories about the grave concerns surrounding the security of Soviet Union’s weapons. People worried about attempts to misuse them. All went well, nothing of it happened, and the world was continuing with “cold” antagonisms. Russia rebuilds itself, trying to balance the interests of different oligarchs, passing slowly to another level.
That left us with the so-called “winner” of the Cold War. The United States of America and allies. Intoxicated by the success, they did not notice that the knife had two edges. “New World Order” was initially an excellent idea for advancing humanity. However, it transformed into another way of operating and thinking and became an acute disease.
That has happened as all the same things that happened in the history of our civilization! Because of simple but insidiously initiated greed!
Greed is what is making our planet not sustainable!
It is not a population! It is not a great majority of humans! It is those great minority of creatures that got injected with greed that can not be removed!
Because of greed, the USA “forgot” to transform itself.
That is now in the process!
It is painful, it will be painful, but it is necessary not because of America only! It is essential because of the future of this planet!
When asked if he will be running for the president by Oprah in 1988, Donald J. Trump declared, “Probably not if the country does not go to the real trouble.” Year 1988!
Trouble it is, and it will be solved. Then we will read history and be proud that we were living in such difficult but challenging times!
One huge step forward is the join statement of two Presidents, Mr. Trump and Mr. Putin Commemorating the 75th Anniversary of the Meeting on the Elbeduring the last days of WW II.
Slowly, the reforms are taking place, and it will include China and Mr. President Xi. For the good of humanity and life on earth!
