I feel gut punched every morning when I turn on the news.
The images I saw today of Mariupal? It is gone. Completely gone. Putin is insane, he thought this was going to be a slam dunk. He was wrong, stupid and unprepared. Now a cornered rabid animal that has no way out. CNN says that there are 40K Russians now dead, wounded or captured. Their supplies have been cut off, demoralized and starving the troops are walking away. He is killing his own people. This is Russia at it's best? I think not.
My fear is, when a rabid animal, an insane man is cornered he will pull the plug and go nuclear. He never cared before, why now.
My fear is he will commit nuclear suicide and take as many of us with him as he can.

(40,211 posts)I feel so bereft. It is heartbreaking to see such senseless suffering. I feel that no matter how hard good people try, there will be the handful of narcissists and mad men who ruin the world for everyone else.
The whole planet is being held hostage by one insane man.
