Camp on this. They have the right to their own Governance, History, Culture - they have the right to self determination. Good, bad indifferent. I'm a black woman of German, French, Indigenous, and Celtic heritage. Last two played a huge part in my father's upbringing. Russia is behaving like colonizers in North America and the British towards the Scots and Irish.

Whatever they need to defend themselves - I'll pay taxes for.

When I look at pictures of starving children in Ukraine based on past Russian behavior - hit Russia with every OFAC and BIS sanction and embargo we can.

Saw a report on how civilians are volunteering to learn 1st aid and how to use weapons, men, women and youn adults. They love their country.

Putin, one of the richest men in the world, is a terrible, evil, egomaniac who has ruined Russia and doesn't care for his people only the oligarchs.
