I’m become “numb” to what’s happening. I’m spending less time listening to world news. I’m suffering from anxiety & loneliness. I’m very concerned about the future, losing our freedom our ancestors fought for against the Britain. I see history repeating itself. I’m afraid for the children and our adult children. I pray for God to remove all the evil going on. I can’t handle life anymore. I’m almost 71 yrs young.
What is happening in Ukraine must be stopped. It's not only horrific, it shows the worst side of humanity. Putin must be removed from power. We must show the Russian people what their "leader"is doing. Whether you want to live in an autocracy or just don't know any better, their leader should never be so brutal. Taking out his opposition, bombing Syria to oblivion or trying to flatten Mariopul, he has shown himself to be a worthless, cruel and selfish man inspired by nothing but his own aggradisement.
I hope the truth is reaching the Russian population and that they might be able to rid themselves of their murderous kleptocrat. The arc should bend toward preventing war. If the US entered the war, would Putin hesitate to use the nuclear bomb against us as well as the Ukraine?
It's an old, disproven 'solution'. & we forget that there are other societies that avoided violent aggression wherever possible. War as we know it is a culturally learned idea, not a genetic imperative.
Thank goodness for organizations like José Andrés' World Central Kitchen, Sean Penn's CORE, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), and many others who are bringing humanitarian aid to these ravaged places. I encourage everyone to help in whatever way they can.
The unprovoked death and destruction wrought by the Russian war on Ukraine must be stopped, and Putin and his minions held to account. Russian aggression has taken too many lives, not just in Ukraine, but in Chechnya, Georgia, and Syria as well. The authoritarian autocrats seek to disrupt the stability of the free world, fomenting needless conflict in order to promote their propaganda that "democracy doesn't work".
Grateful you keep reporting Mr. Rather and thank you also Mr. Kirschner' I really appreciate you featuring Chef Jose Andreas who continues to feed the world's most stricken people and places.
Thank God for Chef Jose, WCK, and all of the women and men putting themselves in harms way to ensure people have food and necessities during this disastrous time.
The west has to give Ukraine tanks and airplanes to push back Putin. Putin has already advance the war by bring in more trained troops from Syria. The west must stop being concerned about Putin's threats of expansion to nuclear war. He knows he would never win that.
The west must stop being pushed around by autocrats. Don't trade with them let them figure out how to survive without western help.
This is the face of undeterred evil. Putin is not a mad man he is a fox. He threatens the most unimaginable terror of using nuclear weapons but if we called his bluff he would back down. He does not want Russia to be destroyed. Can we take the risk? We are showing other dictators that all they need is a nuclear weapon and they can do what they want and the world will stand down. The United States will cower and allow unspeakable atrocities to be waged on innocent nations. North Korea took advantage of our weakness and launched a fully capable ICBM with a range that can hit the United States and is not backing down from future nuclear testing. Our current strategy is don't do anything too anger Russia... really?
One perspective is that Ukraine wants to become an independent superpower, prove they can defend themselves against Russia and join NATO Alliance (which was formed in 1949 in response to the actions of the Soviet Union). Of Course, this is not the case. The illusion is that a Russian autocracy is aggressively attacking the citizens of Ukraine and destroying their homeland to take back Ukraine's independence assumed in 1991. Mr. Volodymyr Zelenskyy is as responsible for the loss of civilians, women and children as Mr. Vladimir Putin is thinking they would safe and protected in an actual conventional war. Now instead of a bargaining table there is an assured War crimes trial of Mr. Putin. Ukraine rebuilds with the help of Russian citizens living in the Ukraine and the story is told.
War. Here we are again, watching so far, as another thug does what thugs do. I am against war of course unless it’s actually the citizens revolting against a dictatorship which although “war” ,has a purpose besides “ control” of population. I believe nato,through neglect and I’ll use ,was weakened, basically by being “used” for American “ wars” in the Middle East . I also am satisfied that nato will survive now( sadly,thanks to putin) and if it hadn’t dragged its feet, I don’t believe the world would be watching the Ukraine being destroyed on television. I am not a pacifist either and the more I watch Russia wage war against civilians (Syria again) the more I want the Russian military destroyed and then “I know most Russian soldiers are victims in this war” comes to mind. Russia will lose, Ukraine will lose, world cooperation will lose, world economy will lose, and if putin lives through this , the world will be doing this again and again. And if the USA can’t make their minds up about democracy and does nothing about it’s treasonous citizens, putin will have all the allies he needs. This battle is the opening salvo in a war of democracy vs dictatorships, we had better all show up .

The cruelty of the Russian army is as bad as the SS in WWII.
A few days before my father was captured by the Germans in 23 Dec 44,
The SS slaughtered 92 black soldiers at Malmedy.
I never thought I would see such evil in my lifetime, but unfortunately we see the same behaviour again, perhaps even worse.

God bless José Andrés and WCKitchen.
I nominate José Andrés for the Nobel Peace Prize; Vladimir Putin for Hell.
