Ok. If that video Zelensky played didn't bring tears to your eyes

Then please never talk to me again. Because I have no use for anyone like that. None. I'm not a professional cinematographer but in my opinion, that was a well done powerful statement.
So I repeat, if you didn't shed any tears during that video, go away.

Not a lot, but some did.

Extremely inappropriate and off-putting. That footage was upsetting in the extreme.

Maybe they are clapping for how well done the video was, but if it hit you emotionally as powerfully as I felt it, clapping would be the last thing ever to cross my mind, while i am sobbing.

I was getting emotional…then two IT people came in to my cubicle. Had to choke it all back.

THIS is Ukraine’s reality, Congress. Your wearing of blue and yellow and offering moral support will not change that.

Though that seemed harsh, so I didn't post it, but guess now I did
