I'm so impressed by the Europeans standing with their brothers and sisters in Ukraine. Seeing it gives me hope.

if he remained in Prague rather than returning to Ukraine.

I know he wants to be with his fellow Ukrainians, but Putin wants him dead. Ukraine doesn't need a martyr, they need a president.

you know what I mean. A dead Zelensky does the Ukraine people no good. I wish he'd leave the country.

But I see your point. It is incredibly brave of him.

It's on my short list of retirement destinations.

Although my short list is pretty long, lol...

I love Prague, a few spots in Croatia, rural Italy, Malta and Tallinn.

Some colder than others... maybe slide back and forth?

You could go and beers were like $1... hotel rooms for $40...

Now it's quite the tourist trap but I still love it.
