The biggest measure of privilege is how far you live from violence.

We all sit here and feel sorry, but we always think "That could never be me".

Such a weak response from the international community...China is watching....pray for the Ukrainians.

It is very sad to see such events occur, especially in 2022. I don't think anybody deserves this. Stay strong Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Why does this have to be our world, why can’t we have a year of peace. Why do humans not realize we are going to be the extinction of our own race.

Please don't kill innocent people. Lord protect all the people Amen

Does that guy not know he has to open his mouth to talk?

[abelendecody]

Fuck war, why can't we as humans just live peaceful

Lord, I pray that whosoever reads this encounters your love and presence. Comfort them. If anything is wrong with their body, Holy Spirit I ask you to heal them. Headaches, tumors, broken legs/arms, back problems, blind eyes, be healed now in Jesus name. Holy Spirit fill them, deliver them, and heal them. Thank you Lord.😊

Sigh… id expect “local leaders” to be people actually affected by this crisis. Not some rich senator across the world who makes his money off the people who voted him in

It would seem it's all about the resources isn't it? Uranium, titanium, energy....

[mukta]

Well boys, it's been nice knowing ya. Here we go.

[pointrain]

I really hope everyone cuts off Russia’s trade routes completely after this.

[cringedude]

Stay strong Ukraine! We will always be on your side!

Wonder how local leaders react to Justin Trudeau's attack on Canada.

[ryanlemons]

Sounds like the leaders react in enjoyment

[letzgobrandon]

As soon as mumbling Joe finishes his ice cream he said he would look into it. Not that any world leaders respect him.

[RAUFBEDAR]

Cut the Internet cut Russias access to the Internet

[BobMarley-nrjj]

I wonder what the Russian people have to say about this?
