Wild news from Russia. Looks like a mutiny. A Russian Mercenary Army in a battle against Russian Regular forces. Release the "Dogs of War," and, well, sometimes, there can be unexpectedly severe unintended consequences. Suddenly the invulnerable, confident, all-powerful Russian Dictator doesn't seem so invulnerable, confident or all-powerful. What happens next?! Who knows?!?
That great Jimmy Cliff song is running thru my head this morning: "The Harder They Come, The Harder They Fall." I say, let it come down. I can't help reaching back to the Boldly Biblical:
"Live by the sword, die by the sword" is a proverb in the form of a parallel phrase, derived from the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 26, 26:52): "Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."
Amen, Brother...
