It's unfortunate to see the children there. They shouldn't have to live like that. But no one should ever have to live like that.

Average life expectancy of a Ukrainian soldier on the frontlines is 4 hours remove Z and cut your losses

[robfarrell]

So that’s what $112 billion gets us? I think I’d rather have that money stay within the states.

[dalongshanks]

I thought Ukraine was kicking ass lmao

[johnwayne]

what "Russia surrounds Bakhmut"... again?
look at the map...
surrounds - this is when at least a half ring ...
in the meantime, no changes ... everything is the same as six months ago, without changes.

[freddysteady]

Just give those areas that voted to be part of Russia to Russia.

[BestBFam]

Our hearts are with you Ukraine. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

Even with the current dip, I'm so glad I've built my portfolio to $30, 560 from my weekly trade. I'm having my fourth withdrawal in 10 business days 700!

I thought the heckin leopard tanks would help ukraine win. What the frick

If you can't have the land make it uninhabitable for the invaders.

[jeraldkozey]

The more military asssitance we will provide now to Ukraine - the less consequences we will have to deal with when the war is over. If russians won't be stopped as soon as possible, then there will be even more Ukrainian civilians who suffered from this war. The consequences of russian invasion can already be seen not only in Europe but all over the world and I wouldn't want to have my children see this happen again and again. Putin's russia must be stopped and nobody but Ukraine will make that happen. They just need our help.

Psalm 58: 1 Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? 2 Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth. 3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies. 4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear; 5 Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely. 6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD. 7 Let them melt away as waters which run continually: when he bendeth his bow to shoot his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces. 8 As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away: like the untimely birth of a woman, that they may not see the sun. 9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in his wrath. 10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked. 11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth. - Bible Offline

[leisakovacek]

It's painful to look at. What have the Russian terrorists done to the city and the people 😭
Ukraine needs long-range weapons and aviation, then I'm sure they will drive the occupiers far away

Psalm 91: 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. - Bible Offline
