- Nothing political here: Have you guys been watching this invasion of Ukraine?! Putin thought it would be all wrapped up in 24 to 48 hours... Well guess what,,he figured wrong.... Imagine someone invading us here in our country!! we'd be doing the same, man, woman, child,,,fighting block to block.... The Ukrainian Pres, the Mayor of Kiev, didn't take off with a bag of gold bars,,,they are fighting! Plenty of heros to go around on the Ukrainian side,,,pull up 'Snake Island'!!! Heros all of them God bless their souls.. Now Russia is indiscriminately bombing apartment buildings, building complexes, even playgrounds.. I don't understand ..where is the help,,,from anyone!!!!!!!!! A tiny place called Kuwait [non Nato] gets annexed and the world goes crazy!!! - We have a legal agreement that if Ukraine gave up their Nukes that we the U.S.A would help them, back them up all the way.... What the hell happened?! My Wifes 2 nephews 31 and 35 and a cousin 50 are fighting in Kiev!! - We lost track of my daughters 83 yr old Grandmother 2 days ago. We had communications then nothing... My Sister -in-law has been sheltering in her root cellar the last 3 days.. She is a few miles from the city and right where Ukraine shot down 2 transport/Paratrooper transport planes! The problem is food. So her and a few neighbors have been all contributing and making family style meals twice a day to get by.... Big thanks to Elon Musk of Tesla fame for making sure Ukraine has the Internet... ALSO big thanks to Turkey for not letting the Russians use that part of the black sea against Ukraine. AND big thanks for the countries letting the Ukrainians go there until this is over..... Again the E.U., countries are pledging weapons' and safe delivery of them but WHEN?! Don't know how much longer Ukraine can hang on,,,,every morning is a miracle that they are still alive and fighting... Freedom isn't free,,you got to fight for it, And they are!,,but dam,,,a little help would be appreciated,,,God bless them all....... Please,,if its in you,,all prayers are appreciated... Thanks...,Gaspare

Gaspare I do hope your wifes family are and continue to be safe. All the brave people of Ukraine fighting (and dying) should get all the support necessary to defeat the Russian invasion. Ron

Gaspare, I thought about you and your family when Putin invaded the Ukraine. He's a nasty bully, like all dictators. I hope your family can stay safe and get through this mess. Best wishes to you. Stephen

what a difference a day makes... .... My daughters Grandmother has gotten in touch with us. She's in a 4 story concrete apartment house ,half full, and mainly seniors in Central Ukraine.. Problem,,now she is running out of food!... This morning I told her to try and break in to those apartments or next door neighbors that have left to break in and try and find food. They have weapons but you can't eat bullets. Another problem is if you've ever been to east Europe the front doors are like bank vaults.. These seniors are smart plus I gave them some hopeful solutions.. And,,my Sister in law who had been doing kind of well in south Kiev,, was evacuated by Resistance fighters... 20 min after they left the neighborhood was destroyed.. Many were killed.. She and a bunch are now with the resistance.. We prayed over the phone this morning with them all and her last words were 'I won't miss what I aim at'! Attacking neighborhoods,,schools, Nuclear installations. All against the Geneva convention. Putin is a war criminal pure and simple... Where are the U.N. forces? What with Nato? They'd rather have Putin next to them? Radiation blowing all over Europe! The US can't even throw them a bone and make it a no fly zone!!! What are they all afraid of,,,over 80% of Russia's land forces are in Ukraine and its still taking a week!! It is a little past midnight now,,I don't know how much longer they have. ... [Good thing Summers coming,,dust off those bicycles! Regular is $5.69 a gal here right now.] Much thanks to the mercenary groups fighting on IOUs!!, The private Ukraine fighting forces,,the Regulars...- God bless you, Thank you..

Politics have nothing to do with it...
Whats the matter with love for your fellow man.... Was Viet Nam in Nato? Kuwait?,,no,.... Shelling playgrounds, apartment houses, Hospitals,, are not politics..This guys committing war crimes, period..........
