Talked about what's happening and how some Russian hockey friends he has don't believe what he tells them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were Eichel rather than Zhitnik, Eichel would have demanded a trade to Russia and would have blamed Zelenskyy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been in combat so being in a tent with mortar fire isn't something I would shy away from; but the danger level here is much higher than it was in the middle east. 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a hard choice but you should feel comfortable with whichever path you decide upon. If you stay, you will help people. If you go, you will help people. And that is surely a comforting thought. Take luck. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any decision you make is your decision. I have a tremendous respect for brave people like you who use their talents to help people in dangerous situations. As you point out the danger level is high now, and it will get even higher. Just a thought but if you wanted to go near the battle area it might be advisable to go to one of the bordering countries where you could help with the refugees and also the wounded who some would end up there. God bless good people like you who serve others while placing themselves at great risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Propaganda or not, the goal is to resist the invasion for long enough until Putin has 2nd thoughts. Your sympathy for the pathological aggressor in this invasion is duly noted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyldnwoody44 Posted March 12, 2022 Report Share Posted March 12, 2022 I know this is getting a little off topic, but there's growing suspicion that Puitin may have terminal colon cancer, or some other illness. Based on his facial expression and overall puffy look I was concerned before even hearing this; it was confimed with a previous Russian operative that is now working the pentagon, Putin is on chemotherapy and steroids; this would account for some of the visual symptoms. The big fear here is that if this does in fact seem to be true, he has lost all inhibitions and will want to leave a legacy for Russia on his way out. As for my decision, I appreciate all the kind words, it's something I'm going to sit down and have a chat with the people around me and see what makes the most sense with all things considered. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
