Ukraine in 2022: Dark and Colder Times

    People saw it coming from last year, 2021, the end of the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns. Russian troops amassed on the Ukrainian border and went to take it at the end of February, the end of winter. Very cold climate; there was more fuel, food, supplies, and living people then. Now we are approaching December, times are cold again. Russia and Ukraine are locked in a deadly and awful battle.

    A lot of suffering, death, destruction. Outrage. I am not sure how we can effectively communicate this sentiment and reaction. This is not acceptable. The United Nations? Wow. Russia/ U.S.S.R. was a founding member. And the People's Republic of China inherited another spot, one of five key foundational members. It is a joke, and not funny at all.

    Sorry, Ukraine.

    We did not do the right thing back in 2008 when we let Russia bully and brutalize Georgia with South Ossetia. We did not do enough to help Ukraine in 2014, giving up the Crimea.

    We have not done enough. But hopefully the plucky and brave Ukrainians will.

    Long live Ukraine!
