It's really sad this the state of things. I don't think anyone here thinks this is a great idea what's been going on. Not only am I really feeling the pain of Ukraine right now but I also have to think many Russians don't want this either. I can only hope and pray that this can be resolved somehow. I don't see how this helps anyone. How we couldn't avoid this with some leadership is beyond me. We have more in common than not.
