NATO And Russia Planning To Meet

While the entire debacle in Russia and Ukraine is far from good news, there have been a few glimmers of hope from both sides. There have been numerous threats and possible sanctions proposed that would be nothing but bad news for the world, but today both Russia and NATO announced that they are in fact planning a joint meeting so this issue can be resolved peacefully. This is not necessarily good news but many political analysts feel that this is an absolutely huge step in the right direction to bringing this to a peaceful conclusion.

The exact details of the meeting are being kept quiet in order to increase the odds of success, and if things go well everyone is hopeful that this will bring the entire conflict to an end. Things have definitely been escalating in Ukraine recently and this is the best shot the world has at putting it to an end before it really becomes a problem. This meeting is a big sign of good news to come, and hopefully in the next few days word will come out that some sort of peaceful end has been reached so the fighting and turmoil can come to an end.

Jack Layton was a very well known and very respected politician in Canada. Layton passed away earlier this week after fighting multiple medical conditions for quite some time; obviously his passing was not entirely unexpected and Layton himself had clearly come to grips with what was going to happen. In his final public goodby Layton addressed all of the world.

Just before passing away Layton wrote a letter that he wanted to have publicly read; that letter went to great lengths to show a positive side of everything. Layton had always been known as an upbeat and positive politician which is part of what made him stand out and thanks to the courageous and optimistic words in his last letter Layton effectively sealed his legacy of optimism.

Layton’s letter was distributed quickly through the media and other press outlets and all across the world people have drawn inspiration and optimism from his words. Few people, let alone politicians can be so optimistic about the future of their country and the world and that is exactly what Layton did in his last goodbye. Layton will forever be remembered as an eternal optimist thanks to this letter and just as Layton had hoped many of his fellow politicians are taking note of how he lived his life. Jack Layton will be missed but as mentioned, his legacy will live on forever as he was one of the most unique and happy politicians to ever have been elected.
