I pray the world will wise up and take appropriate steps before catastrophic loss occurs. I pray for all in Ukraine.

I have no helpful words to write here. I want you to know you are all in my heart. It feels that evil is encroaching everywhere. We must not be scared. We must stand united against the bully’s of the world.

But quite a few of the missiles fired at Ukraine were capable of carrying nuclear warheads. And wasn't this an intermediate range ballistic missile, similar to what Iran has been firing at Israel. The novelty here, AFAIK, is the use of MIRV.

In any case, I hope that Europe will step up ASAP given that the US will probably be worse than useless as an ally of Ukraine as of January 20, 2025.

Thud scuds are just sabre rattles. Herr Puttin is still a buttweasel.

Is there anything we in the U.S. can do? Many are hoping that before President Biden leaves office, he will be able to release more funding for Ukraine. I'm not sure what the current status on that is. As I'm sure you know, we are dealing with a bag of dirt who wants to be just like Putin and will be returning to the White House in just under two months. Horrifying that he wants to make our country like Russia, North Korea, China, and others.

Stay safe!

I may be out of line here, but I am so angry and frustrated that the United States and the rest of the world have not responded much more aggressively much sooner to Russian aggression and mendacity.

I really am sick of the stupidity and violence perpetrated globally by a few powerful MEN. Putin, Xi, Kim, Netanyahu, Orban, significant amounts of endless African Conflicts, Erdogan, and now idiot Trump, yet again. That the rest of us watch soul-grinding testicular violence increasing everywhere; mass shootings? Men. Random public violence? Mostly Men. School shootings? Men. Rape as a warfare tactic? Men. Mindless killing of wildlife for 'sport'? Mostly Men. Destruction of the environment via weapons of war? Men.

Yet there is ZERO DISCUSSION about what can or should be done to prevent it. Boys will be boys bullshit. The violence worsens by the day, but we will not hear any serious, reality based conversation about the inhumane human animals running and despoiling the planet.

I fear any stop in the war would only last a few years unless Russia was dealt a large embarising, economy destroying loss. This could also be very dangerouse.

Usa is the next Ukraine if 45 Maga is allowed to continue putin-backed his hostile takeover. Urgent that Harris will find a way to keep power, stay put in whatever way works, regardless of law. This may just save the world from destruction.

I wonder if the narcissists Putin and Trump become terminally sick thus would have nothing to lose whether they would blow up earth.

The UN Nato and many other countries need to come together to fight the many Authortarian leaders. Do the leader of Korea and China want an end to the world?

Nato? The reason Trump wanted USA out if Nato was for Putin to demolish Ukraine and USA. Nato can gather to help without a treaty at this point.
