Prayers for people under the Russian thumb.

I don't understand what it must be like for them. Evil has returned to Europe in a big way. IMHO, My PTSD has been kicked off big time this week.

My PTSD is up too. We must act now to help them. They fought with us in Afghanistan.

Seems like we've regressed back in time. Putin is old school kgb and as evil and ruthless as they come. Need to stop him.

Belarus will now send in troops to assist Russia. It was being reported that Putin on phone with China today. Overwhelming odds for Ukraine. Hopefully the Ukrainians are able to do extraordinary things for their own defense. They have most of the whole world, including many Russians protesting in the streets, on their side. Given 24/7 news cycle, the 13 men on Snake Island will always be remembered as Ukrainian heros by this generation around the world.

That was a completely unhinged, hate-filled, tyrannical speech he gave just before launching his unprovoked attack on the people of Ukraine...not all that different from what I've read about some of Hitler's rants circa 1939. It's akin to a mob boss sending a goon squad next door to axe-murder his neighbors in their sleep just for practice.

We live 10 minutes from Bragg. Almost non-stop artillery for days. This is hard to believe. I pray for us all.

China won’t get involved-that would start WW3 and likely kill a couple billion people.

My company has several offices in Ukraine. Those people are a hard working, prideful bunch. I respected them long before a madman brought hell to their doorstep. Many of my coworkers are already fighting and some are missing. I wish there was more that I could offer than just thoughts and prayers.

I’ll second that Beau. My custom cabinet makers here in Hendersonville eight brothers. Came here 20 years ago. I can tell you they are hard working good people. I befriended them over the years and talking to him over the last few days it’s heartbreaking to hear him tell me about is family.Their culture is very simple and interesting. They don’t have Televisions etc.

I agree. I do not think china is going to send troops to Ukraine. Putin is trying to figure out his options. If European countries take SWIFT away from Russia, that will severely hurt the Russian economy worse than it already is. The issue for European countries is that eliminating oil flow from Russia will impact their economies. Hopefully, they decide to do so.

Now he sees weakness , and opportunity.We are in very dangerous times.BTW I have a friend , American , in Kyiv right now and am still getting real time updates .Tonight and tomorrow are critical.Make no mistake the Ukranians are fighting like hell.

My worries with China is not their involvement in Ukraine, but what they may want to do with Taiwan. After watching what happened in Afghanistan and now Ukraine, they may now feel it is time to make a move.

All this while we have lost our self dependence on Oil. As gas prices rise, both Russia & China gain wealth. It's not looking good in short run.

The difference between Ukraine and Taiwan is the Taiwanese can take out Three Gorges Dam before the ChiComs are fully mobilized. The Ukrainians don't have as much offensive capability.

Reading comprehension? Stonewall said the Russians and Ukrainians he knew thought Putin was scarred of the US, not that Putin himself said he was afraid of the US. Putin would never say that out loud, but events on the ground over the last decade support the speculation.

I asked a simple question. Could have saved your time by just answering it (Like you eventually did) rather than your "reading comprehension" attack.
