I wish the tears could stop.

I feel guilty if I enjoy anything or get a laugh while knowing the terror Ukrainians are living with now. I feel as if I need to turn the news off but guilt stops me.

I did my best to avoid the draft during Nam but feel that if I were younger and in health I would go to Ukraine to help.

Putin is starting to make the despots come to power since Hitler pale in comparison his actions.

Fuck. Just fuck.

You can’t do any good if you become non functional. It is very hard to watch all of this, take a break if you need to. It seems we are all ultimately at the mercy of a madman with nukes. Lets hope something being done will help to stop this asap.
