War...Unbelievable Strength and Resolve...and More

 

Today The World stands in Solidarity with Ukraine.

It has been three days since the invasion.


 

Kyiv is still held as of this morning.

President Zelenskyy is fighting alongside his troops and has refused numerous offers of refuge elsewhere (including the US). 

They have tanks and anti-aircraft weapons, too.


 

Many acts of heroism have already surfaced. 13 men who died on Snake Island when a Russian Battleship demanded their surrender...and their answer was "Fuck You" and they continued their stand.

Ordinary citizens...and mayors and such who have taken up arms to defend their cities and country.

Teenagers and old women filling Molotov Cocktails to throw.

A grandmother who reportedly told a young Russian soldier to fill his pocket with sunflower seeds so they would grow when he fell. 

...the sunflower is Ukraine's National Flower...

Make no mistake about it...if this war is won and Putin is thwarted...these average ordinary people who stand shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine's soldiers and say "Not Our Home" will make the difference.

Globally, we have responded with tough sanctions...freezing banks and assets. Sending weapons, ammunition, military equipment and in some instances troops...most of the world standing in solidarity...including thousands of Russia's own people.

And so we wait...and hope.

Working on a Sirloin Steak Stroganoff with mushrooms brunch for my guy and I, tomorrow. 

This month has been insane...hopefully settling soon.

Today is a Cinderella Day, here.

I did manage to watch

Which, despite its all-star cast, was uniformably, bad.

As in almost unwatchable.

All of the characters had no redeeming qualities whatsoever...even Adam Driver who started out humble, quiet, almost likeable...ended up

"I married a MONSTER"

"No...you married a GUCCI."

Yeah...it was like that.

Lackluster performance by both Leto and Pacino...were the final nail is this abomination's coffin.

2 hours and 38 minutes of my life that I shall never get back.


I have started the Jack Reacher series though...am on Episode 5 and it is phenomenal.

John said I'd love it.

So, will be finishing it next week and reviewing it then.

Must get back to things here.
