Four years. Four bloody horrible years. No real hopeful ending in site. I feel the pain and terror the Ukrainians have to suffer daily. I wait for the day they can feel safe and free again. Until then, Slava Ukraini!

I see the admin has decided to carry out its own SMO on a perceived rival country in our region. Hoping our forward replayed forces remain safe and a true democratic process can begin in Caracas. I will remain skeptical but it’s early
