The dead family on the front page of the NYT is but one example.
Putin has jumped to the top of my list of horrible people I wish to suffer eternal pain, burning in hell.
I want to hug every refugee.
I have suffered through such wars before - starting with Viet Nam,and all wars since them - but none hit me as viscerally as this one.

(32,610 posts)It's a horrible thing that's happening right now in Ukraine. No matter how bravely and nobly the Ukrainians stand up to Putin, it's still a terrible price they have to pay. Their country is being ruined before their eyes, their loved ones have left the country, or stayed and risked their lives fighting against tyranny.
Chump let this happen when he colluded with his Russian puppet-master.

(4,070 posts)I can only watch the news from there for a short time. I see the young Mothers and their children, babies born in bomb shelters, folks taking their pets,,,, I cannot visualize just picking up and leaving everything behind to go to somewhere new,,,, to be dependent on others for food & medications,,, to walk for miles,,,, it breaks my heart.

(13,565 posts)...and the closest link I could possibly have to anyone from that part of the world is two of my grandchildren whose gr gr grandfather on their other side left Moldava in 1904 and came to America when he was four years old. I am not related to him.
And I have two other grandchildren whose family fled Germany prior to WW2. Again, those were not blood relatives of mine.
But that boy today, crying.....
This keeps running through my head:
Bless the beasts and the children, for in this world they have no voice, they have no choice...
