I'm continually humbled by the Ukrainian people. The videos at the Polish and Romanian borders is nothing but women and children. The men are there with a rifle on their back and home made bombs. I have become super invested in them and there are multiple moments everyday that it suddenly becomes dusty or I my allergies act up.
It appeals to us as Americans and men. The thought of an armed struggle just to exist is ingrained in most of us. My ability and want to wield a firearm in defence of home and hearth is damn near genetic I think. I grew up a gutter rat raised by women. Nothing at all would have predicted my mentality. It was culture of our land.
Then ya know us Aggies love us some underdogs!
On the real though, this is such a classic case of good vs evil at this point and again, thay riles something up in us Americans. I've seen a LOT of images over this conflict. The one that actually got me was the one where the community was coming together.....to make and stage molotov cocktails in Odessa in preparation for the hard fighting expected tonight. A lot of women and children in that crowd. Doing what they can. Wholesome (in a weird ****ed up kind of way)
