I sometimes feel I should comment, but I can’t put into words what I feel, how much I understand or my fears for the future, my son still in the army, my daughter’s and grandchildren.
I fear that Putin will not stop, and why should he, with no one to tell him too. Ukraine will be wiped out for some unfathomable reason that only he knows, the land left untended and the cities and towns as stark reminders.
Then the West will say what they should have done, but sadly too late - again
EL it is hard to click on the" like" heart after each of your masterful posts, because it seems such a trivial response to the stark messages therein. They, unavoidably, contain honest and terrible truths and revelations about the barbarity of the Russian and the courage and suffering of the Ukrainians. What is so hard to acknowledge, and to bear, is the fact that the West, ie USA, UK, EU, Nato, UN and all are fiddling while Ukraine is burning and being destroyed. I share your view there will be a WWlll. We are already tiptoeing into it hoping it will not get any worse, but it will. The questions for those in power now is how much worse will it be allowed to get? What will Russia be allowed to do next before the rest of the world wakes up to the reality. It is dire and desperate, and unbelievable to be contemplating this at sunny blessed Easter-tide, time of hope and renewal. Thank you for your efforts EL and your clarity.
