The Russians have gone in

Sadly it appears that Russia has fired upon a Nuclear plant in Ukraine and there are fires burning, first time in history.

Supposedly the largest nuke plant in Europe. But better built than Chernobl. It has a kill switch. Don't know about a containment vessel.
 
Lindsey Graham this evening called for Putin's assassination.


He states, "Is there a Brutus in Russia? Is there a more successful Colonel Stauffenberg in the Russian military? The only way this ends is for somebody in Russia to take this guy out. You would be doing your country - and the world - a great service."
 
It's giving my mom flashbacks. She's been a bit off the rails for 3 days..doing better tonight. Sis was able to calm her today

My mom has trouble watching the video news feeds as having lived through the Liverpool Blitz she has witnessed firsthand the suffering and death inflicted on civilians.

Whenever she is burdened she goes to the back door to look out at her rock garden and pray.

She has been spending a lot more time at the back door lately.
 
I hope that for once the constant presence of social and other media on everybody's phone, tablet, computer will have a positive rather than the usual negative effect, and keep this tragedy front and center, and personal, like in President Zelensky's tweets.

Anybody old enough will remember that in the 1990s we pretty much just watched the siege of Sarajevo and the Bosnian genocide on TV, for over three years, many with an attitude of "Meh, they're always killing each other over there …"

POINTS

1. Lindsey will say anything if there is a TV camera in the room.

2. Master the on/off button on the TV, don't watch if things bother you.
 
Putin knows he is already responsible for so many atrocities that he is going to burn for eternity in the afterlife. So it no longer matters to him what happens to the Ukrainian people, or his own troops. While it would be nice to see him killed, that would make him a martyr in some quarters. I'd rather see him publicly humiliated by stripping him of all authority and sending him to the northern tip of Novaya Zemlya Island to shovel ice. Then, if we're lucky, a polar bear might make a snack of him.

I'm truly sorry for your Mom, Arjay. I hope she's able to cope with this.

I'm sure there are a lot folks having flashbacks these days...we're basically going to back to the Cold War era, and nobody liked that. :(
 
It never leaves them. It was the same for my dad

I've written on here about Harijs, the Latvian father of a close friend who endured both Stalin's invasion of his homeland, and being drafted into the Wehrmacht when Hitler turned on the Soviet Union. Harijs passed away in 2008, and not a day went by that he didn't talk about the war and how terrible things were. He didn't discuss his combat experiences per se, but what the Russians did to the Baltic States was never far from his mind...
