@ghasley , you are so polite!. I am not. Unless the Keystone Pipeline and other sources are opened and we supply oil to Europe to cover the deficit, Russia will not suffer to the extent it should. You should not punish people who continue to use fossil fuels. You make electricity cheap and people will move themselves to electric cars an home heating. This can be readily done in a very clean way with Molten Sodium Reactors. All the technology to succeed in ending the petroleum era is in place. What is keeping our government from proceeding with the one and only viable option open to us? If people think we are going to make enough power with solar cells and wind mills they are totally and completely miss-informed.
Music Lovers! Unite in helping Ukraine!
We are fortunate to live in countries that allow us to pursue financial success. I believe most of us on here has attained that to a degree that we are living relatively comfortably.
The Russian military is beginning to utilize all the massive firepower at its disposal. Since their offensive has bogged down, they are changing tactics. Their new tactic is to surround a city and shell it indiscriminately, inflicting as much human misery as possible. A rocket, missile and artillery shell doesn’t care if you are a soldier, old woman, or an infant. Neither does Putin.
When they unleash it like they did in Syria, it will be a humanitarian catastrophe not seen since the Second World War. Death and destruction on a massive scale.
Please, consider giving to a charitable organization to help.
We have so much. Give some of it to whom it will literally make a difference between living and dying. You will be saving a life. A life of someone loved. Just as you love.

This is the charity I used, but there are several more of your choice. International Red Cross, Save the Children, CARE, to name a few.
Please, let’s all do what we can to help.

@ghasley , I am all for that but the idiot we have for a president won't do it. I wonder why? |
The Ukranians are in a very unfortunate position. If they west escalates to direct military action Putin is crazy enough to launch a nuk. Our military could roll over the Russians in a heartbeat but the choice is letting the Russians have Ukraine or Nuclear war the choice is obvious. We lost the opportunity to prevent this now the finale is written in stone. The best we can do is support the refugees and integrate them into other western societies. |
