Default Pray For Ukraine!

The Ukrainian people are putting forth a very brave battle for their country in the face of an evil tyrant.

If you are so inclined, please pray for the Ukrainian people and all those who are fighting to keep their independence! We have a history of fighting for independence in this country; let's all hope and pray they can be successful, too!

Oh, and also....Putin can kiss my rebel a**!!!!!!


Earl

(P.S. -- Scott, I realize this maybe boarderline on your policy against political comments on the forum. However, I am hoping in this case that possibly you will let it stand.)

Couldn't agree more, Earl. Canada has the largest Ukrainian community outside Ukraine, and support for the Ukrainian people is very strong here.

Plus one more. Putin is a dinosaur. Seeing those tanks flying Soviet flags (not Russian) told us all we need to know!

I hope the Ghost of Kiev is real and I hope he shoots down 50 Russian MiGs and Sukhois!

I don't watch SNL any more, but I did catch the tail end of tonight's opening, which featured the Ukrainian Chorus Dumka of New York which sang "Prayer for Ukraine". Classy support from SNL!

There is a Twitter video in the story if you'd like to see the performance.

Power to the people!!

Yes, it is very inspiring!

And very humbling actually to see how those people are standing up to a much stronger aggressor. Should make us all have a renewed sense of appreciation for the freedoms we have here at home. I know things in the good ol’ US of A aren’t always perfect, but they are a heck of a lot better than many other places.

Two things:

* Don't harass people of Russian dissent. This is a really, really stupid move. Those folks are often here because they're sick of autocratic stuff back home.

* Donate to help refugees! The UNHCR and the International Committee of the Red Cross are taking donations. There are others orgs as well.
