I think it's more important than ever to do what we can to help the country of Ukraine stay their own country and not be beaten by the likes of Russia. I also have hope that Zelensky will not cave into the US after last Friday's ambush. I fear, if he does take the Dump and Vance up on any deal, he will be giving into one evil devil to deal with another evil devil, and let's face it, both devils are in this together, and they will stab Zelensky in that back again for one final jab. Over the weekend, reader Milleson sent he a moving email, his letter below, and it also contained his cousin's letter and words, asking to share this. How could I not. Ukraine is barely hanging on but still is staying strong. Any hope, help and kindness is very important and goes a long way for the citizens of the Ukraine. I donated after his email and spent half my day yesterday at the state capital with protest against the Dump. Not a bad turnout considering this was a quick to gather protest, over 4,000 attended, and a surprising number of republicans too. Another one if already being planned.
Dear Bloggers and Friends,
This plea for funds is a humanitarian effort to keep the Ukrainian people with hope and nourishment in the coming months, many are at need and please help if you can. My Cousin Richard and I are descendants of Germans who immigrated to the Ukraine region in the 1800s and this is personal. After all, if you're not an American indigenous Indian, we ALL are descendants of people from other countries. Thank you for your time and consideration. With hope and faith in what America should be, your friend, Milleson
To help the cause got to Seeds of Hope.
There is also the International Rescue Commitee
We must do what we can to support the people of Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope Zelensky makes a deal with Europe. They're the ones who will have his back.
I'm hoping he does to Pat. Now I'm hearing China may join Russia in the war.
DeleteI think they've already been assisting Russia - quietly from the sidelines.
DeleteI make a payment every month to the UNHCR for Ukraine - 80% of us Brits support Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteAs they should! Jx
DeleteI hope Europe steps up to the plate, even at the expense of us. We're supposed to beat up the bullies, not become one.
ReplyDeleteThis^^^^^^^^^
DeleteThis is what happens when the bullies and inmates run the country, and stupid dumb asses fell for their shit. By time his term is up, we all will be luckily to have any rights left. Or a country.
DeleteWe could all be dead by 2028
DeleteDitto what Robzilla said.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, but after last night's speech, I'm more worried about our country's intentions towards Greenland and Panama!
ReplyDeleteAt this point Republicans need to be stripped of citizenship and deported to Russia 🇷🇺
ReplyDeleteThat's the best idea I've heard yet!
DeleteThanks, Mads!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very good idea. I would add that we need to call our Dem representatives and nail into them that Ukraine cannot be abandoned. Fat Nixon and Couch Fucker are Vlad's puppets, and that would doom any action on their part, but we can still do something. Calling and donating.
And I think the EU is going to step up. They must.
XOXO
I agree, the administration and the Party of Rot are all but gloating they are with Russia and want to bring it here. Sick. There was a time the US HATED Russia so much, any dalliances with it would have ended a political career. It's amazing how voters let things pass so easily all of a sudden. Just wait till they take over and people have to wait in lines for goods or services.
DeleteThe USA is led by complete fuckwits, and the rest of the world is having to pick up the pieces. Again. Jx
ReplyDeleteAnd the sad part Jon? I don't think it will ever be righted. The Party of Rot is just plain evil, and the democrats are still so shell shocked, running around in disbelief they got drowned by the red wave. They need to snap out of it, there seems to be no direction, or force back, and just screaming Trump is evil. Well, no shit Sherlock. They need to get some new blood fast. I think they are going to be screwed again come mid-terms. It's all such a sad commentary.
Delete*now where did I leave my Hendricks.......*
Europe will do what they can and the US will look like Putin's Puppets and that is never a good look.
ReplyDeleteI am off to look at the websites now ... and get my coins ready!
And Jon comment above is upsetting. And he is right.
DeleteA terrible situation made even more terrible due to this country's idiocy. It breaks my heart that the Ukraine has to suck up to that petty little orange tyrant. And now they're withholding intelligence info - holding it for ransom just so the felon can say he won some mineral rights. It's beneath us to behave in such an uncivilized manner and yet... here we are folks. I keep hoping for lightening. Or a burst aorta. Brain hemorrhage? Something....
ReplyDeleteI avoid watching the news because the sight of orange butt face makes me sick, but I watched the video of the oval office drubbing of a fine, brave man and it sickened me. The European Union was already doing more for Ukraine than the US was. Now, they'll step up to do even more, and I will donate. I know anything helps. I don't want Ukraine to give in to the Russian or the US dictator.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Nice to hear from you Janie!!!! I watch now maybe, if lucky, twice a week. It's going to be a very long four years.........sigh.
DeleteI have family that is Ukrainian, so I have been donating to a different cause every month since the war broke out. And I hope you right that Zelensky doesn't give in to the US.
ReplyDeleteExcellent post! And thanks for sharing this with us and the links. I still can't believe all that is going on in only just less than two months.
ReplyDeleteAny decent, right minded person would be outraged at the treatment of Zelensky and of course,Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteWe must never look the other way.
We have to do what we can. However small.
I'm sickened by what is happening to the US - I fear the superpowers are going to carve up Europe between them and spit us out.
ReplyDeleteSx
Even worse the Trump administration is meeting with the Ukrainian rivals and political opponents of Zelenskyy to undermine his government and set up his ouster.
ReplyDeleteEurope must step up to the plate and defend Ukraine and keep the Trump regime out.
