My heart and prayers go out to all Ukrainians, especially those brave Ukrainians who remain in Kyiv, the Alamo of Eastern Europe.

I also pray for the men and women in our military who are seeing the Russian missile launches (and reporting them) in real time, knowing those missiles are landing on Ukrainian non-combatants.

Recognizance can never be overestimated, and right now, those in our military missile recognizance programs know they are there "....for such a time as this.":

Can the UK shoot down nuclear missiles? Is Britain capable of stopping an attack?
NUCLEAR WEAPONS have emerged back into the spotlight during recent days after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his country's nuclear arsenal to be moved to "special alert". So, if Moscow were to launch an attack on the UK, what defences could be used?

I was making the comparison between Zelensky and Crockett or Bowie today also. He is going to go down in the history books for what he is currently doing. I bet 100% of our brave elected leaders in DC would have skipped town instead of fighting.

This is pure fear-mongering.

Our leaders sent the children from flyover country to fight.

Y'all have bought full in on a complex historical/political dispute. Me thinks the propaganda is getting to you. Comparing Zelensky to Davy Crockett. Lol. Have you guys even seen some of the military regiments that are in the Ukrainian military?

QUESTION: Why couldn't we line up say (pick a number....whatever works logistically) 100 drones to take out the forty mile convoy...tee them up and let some Ukrainian push the "go" button?

The need for hero worship by your run-of-the-mill TexAgs poster sometimes baffles me.

Exactly. No country will ever use nuclear weapons again in the context of how we did against Japan. There are no actual evil characters who simply want to see the world end and nothing else, including killing themselves and their loved ones.

The Jewish Zelots were never going to let the Romans take them alive.
Zelensky knows this story.
In 50 years his statue will be enormous.

That doesn't change my mind. I'm not saying that we should abandon a nation who was invaded, I'm saying let's not make this guy a hero. How many times have we been burned thinking some dude is a hero when viewing something through the blue/red prism, only to learn that the prism didn't apply and that the guy was not as virtuous as thought.

This isn't a blue/red thing and your prism argument is irrelevant. I don't care what his political beliefs are. I could disagree with him on everything. He could be extremely corrupt. None of that matters with respect to current support for him. People respect/admire the guy because he was offered an evacuation to safety by the US and he responded that he doesn't need a ride, he needs ammo. He's staying to fight instead of fleeing like the vast majority of our leaders would. Don't twist it into more than it is.

Seems like a damn hero to me.

He already knows what will happen if he drops a bomb...and here is your spoiler alert:


Bomb dropped - general public gets angry. media goes out of control.

White/Black/Asian cisgendered fighter pilots will destroy the Russian Military in a few weeks.

Roll the script - general public forgets how the battle was won...Media proclaims that Biden's Trangendered Army defeated the Russian Bigots and now USA will put $4 Trillion into Transgender military recruiting.


Prove me wrong!

Just what do you call leaders that lead from the front, people that stay and fight against overwhelming odds?

I call the Ukrainians who remained to fight heroic.

He's the President of Ukraine and he hasn't tucked tail and run. He's doing his job and good for him. My guess is that he doesn't think he's a hero either. I call Ukrainians who remained to fight patriotic...not heroes.

I really thought that Poland was going to step up and fill the void of Western leadership, but that seems to be fizzling out.
