I have not been following the media since there was the switch from Covid to the Russia/Ukraine “war”. The mainstream media kinda played us once, not telling the whole story, hiding facts and only showing one side of the picture. Anyway, I didn’t want to take any stance in this new “popular”conflict. I do not know what is going on over there and why we are still positioned to be supporting one side. We have very little proof of what is going on over there. Anyway, I thought about looking for people who looked at what was going on over there, people who have been there or who heard from the individuals living in these countries.

Bhummikitti said hundreds of people from Ukraine were also stranded, mainly due to airport closures there.

He said efforts were being made to get stranded Russians onto flights to Moscow on Middle Eastern airlines and to arrange repatriation flights.

Too late for that.

Doesn’t matter who does it - foreign or domestic - reality is that if putin dies, so does this war.


That is my best guess.

A go fund me page, anyone? :scratch: :mrgreen:

It is a hard buy, to ask for a country not to do the thing you are bullying it into not doing?

Putin has lost the plot.

In a sense, the Ukrainian people should be lionized......they are the first line of defense against the onslaught of the Russian Idiot Bear.

Not the Russian people I'm talking about. I'm talking about the Head Idiot.

If so, we deserve it.Just sorry for all the innocent creatures that will also go.

I'm tempted to say there has been enough suffering in this godforsaken existence, but I have the emotional discipline not to.
D'oh! :wall: :mrgreen:
