The farther we get from WWII and WWI the more we lose respect for how easily these types of conflicts get out of control and escalate.

God bless Ukraine, as a Taiwanese I can totally feel how devastating it can be having a not so friendly country as your neighbour.

12:33 hearing the sounds of explosions while the news anchors are silent gives me chills. Those poor people in Ukraine. We Americans stand with Ukraine.

I hope the people in Ukraine are safe. I can only imagine how scary it must be being woken up by explosions.

"begins military operations" sounds way nicer than to 'invade' or 'attack'

I commend Zelensky for staying in Ukraine. He wants to stay with his people.
Pray for peace 🕊️

This is honestly horrific and out of control 😢. Praying for the innocent people in the Ukraine and even in Russia. Now Poland is being warned awful inhuman treatment 😢 for all. It's going too ruin our own country

I’m so tired of the rich and powerful starting wars. We the people of the world need to band together and get these people out of power..
