I can't watch it anymore

I am 82. I don't get around good. I can't buy a plane ticket and a gun and head there to help. I'm giving what money I can scrape together to send for humanitarian aid.

Ukraine is being decimated. Civilians deliberately targeted. Children's cancer hospitals, old folks homes, schools, churches, hospitals - even orphanages.

If anyone thinks they stop in Ukraine they are nuts. I grew up in the shadow of the last one who pulled this shit. In between we've had it on a smaller scale.

World sanction aren't going to do anything. No one wants to go head to head with Putin and his thugs on the ground carrying out the orders. Well, we can do it now or do it after half of Europe is in ruins and god knows what else. They'll blow those nuclear plants in a minute, without the smallest regret.

We sat on our hands so many times while people around the world were slaughtered. Finally sending in a "peacekeeping" force if we bother to do anything. Rwanda. Zaire. Bosnia. Sudan ....

No we can't solve it all but there's got to be more than just "sanctions". Please... there has to be something more.

This is awful.

     I really couldn't care less what an 82-year-old Democrat thinks about anything. Their world is all about winning points against their 3rd cousin on Facebook. If she's really had enough, she'll quit posting on DU and go knit or do whatever old cranky women do.

Good to see the old DUchebags are all for sending other people to die in the corrupt cesspool called Ukraine. Oh and looking to start a nuclear WWIII. What a despicable batch of mentally ill idiots.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Is DU now accepting Reagan's 1980s foreign policy that Obama mocked?

As much as I might detest Mitt Romney sometimes, he is likely laughing his ass off right now.

Here I thought she was talking about Lieden's speech......
“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

        -- Marcus Tullius Cicero, 55 BC (106-43 BC)

That was the Pre-Never-Trump 2012 edition of Romney. Better than broken clock syndrome, but only by a little.
