😣 I shouldn't post the following to you Fern - it's really tough to watch the clear proof that Putin is intent on nothing less than dessimating Ukraine and it's people - but when Timothy Snyder lays it out, there's no denying.

Mary Pat, TY for this. Did you notice in the Q&A that Snyder says the work of military historians is critical in understanding what is happening in this war. I thought of the several times TC laid out the supply center difficulties of the Russian troops. Snyder says this is a level of understanding which operates independently of other lenses and that we " don't have enough military historians."

Believe me, the competition isn't fierce. But I know all the good ones. :-)

P.S. Many Thanks to my sister, Joanne, who sends me these sources, makes me view/read them, and quietly fights for democracy in Red County.

MaryPat, I knew the truth of this when the war began. It is the deep, dark hole instead of a soul imbedded in them. Dear MaryPat.

Dear Fern. Warm hugs and a box of Kleenex. I am taking more walks and hollering at God and gods to inflict some "natural causes" on the despicables.

You, too, MaryPat. Big warm hug. He's exterminating human beings, animals, plant life...LIFE.

I do love your 'natural causes'. You're priceless!
