Your estimated attention span of current day humans is quite generous.

We are in a bind, but we may have to act at some point.

We cannot let Putin threaten the world with nuclear bombs and let him terrorize innocent countries. Next he will move on to the rest of Europe.
We will never be safe.

We cannot let him rule the West and impose autocratic systems on us.

But we cannot risk blowing up the world.

Right now many countries are coalescing to help Ukraine in the most unique type of war I have ever seen. It is heartening to see.

But make no mistake, it could get very ugly and very painful to watch.

I have been saying enough Hail Marys to sink a ship, I hope the Blessed Mother helps the women and children of Ukraine.

I have a lot of expertise in psychology, so have been trying to explain Putin's mental status, his psych profile, and the psychosocial aspects of the war.

And I am a WWII history buff so trying to explain some of the military aspects of the war. I am trying to help the best way I can for my DU friends and colleagues.
