There seems to be even more craziness than usual this evening on our Freerepublic. I have had the good fortune to have dealt with and even made friends in my dealings with Russians and Ukrainians during my time in uniform and it grieves me to see good young men of both sides dying in this unjust and uncalled for war - and for their parents.

The Russians were absolutely wrong to invade the Ukraine and had no excuse whatsoever to fire missiles, artillery, aircraft bombs, and drones at civilian targets - train stations, markets, apartment buildings or shoot civilians in towns they occupied - and they constitute very real war crimes.

we are fortunate to have the posts by UMCRevMom, because they are a good source of information from the Ukrainian side. I would welcome accurate information from the Russian side, but we seem to be overwhelmed by rabid attacks on anyone supporting the Ukraine by actual Russian disinformation folks or emotional westerners who attack anyone at all who doesn't support the aggressors fully enough. Their motivations run from distaste for the Ukraine leaders to anger at the US providing support to over-the-top crazy stuff.

If you ears are burning Bimbo, then yes, I mean you this evening. I agree with your tag line but not the discourteous manner you've shown this evening on this thread.

If everyone who was ‘discourteous” on this site were banned, the site would have to shut down.

Thanks for your very sober and wise response to some pretty over-the-top nonsense from our anti-Ukrainians.
