As Putin continues to throw his tantrum of devastation, Ukraine still stands.
Yes, he is destroying office buildings, he is flattening hospitals and schools, he is stopping aid from getting to the Ukrainian people, his soldiers are shooting at fleeing vehicles clearly marked that children are inside. Yes, he continues to do all of this.
But to his vast disappointment, he has absolutely made no ground in decimating the spirit of Ukraine. He has done nothing to destroy their will to defend what they have built. He has horribly underestimated the people of Ukraine on all fronts. He has not weakened NATO, he has made it stronger. He has not weakened the UN, they too, have banded together stronger than they have in years.
The citizens of Ukraine have pushed their invaders back around Kyiv. They have captured both his equipment and his men, now using both against him.
This tiny, feeble, old, bald, deranged, greedy, evil, psychopath has no path to victory. He knows it. His greed will be his downfall, just as it has been for every villain throughout history. For him, enough will never be enough, for the simple fact that he wants everything. All of it. Power, money, land, people. All of it. He is an insane and evil glutton.
I saw today, that Ukraine has sunk a huge Russian ship carrying a bunch of Russian war gear. Ukraine is pushing back. Ukraine will never surrender. They can't. I'm not sure they would even know how, that's just how incredible they are.
More sanctions were imposed on Putin and his buddies today, by multiple countries. More humanitarian aid is on its way, along with new plans on how to get it to those who need it most. New plans are being made to help get people out of danger.
Putin's brand of tyranny can not be allowed to survive. He, and those who think as he does, need to be stripped of every power. Evil entities should never be allowed to run countries, be in charge of the safety of civilians, have a say in how we live.
Hopefully, someday soon, a path to eliminating these horrible people from their seats of power will be made clear, and followed to a humane end.
When will enough be enough?
In the meantime...
To the people of Ukraine,
I can't imagine the level of exhaustion you must, collectively, be feeling. To withstand this level of fear, stress, and anxiety for so long is inhumane, is inhuman. No group of people should ever have to withstand this horror. Yet, you stand. I know your legs must be tired, your souls, weary, your hearts breaking a little more with every passing day. I know you must feel like you are a baby's breath from breaking under the weight of it all. How could you not?
Please know we are with you. The world is on your side. We all want this horror to be over for you. We want to honour you, hoist you upon our shoulders, celebrating victory.
I don't know how to write this in a way that doesn't feel hollow. After all, these are just words. Unfortunately, words are all I have the power to offer. Other than pushing our own government, in all means available to me, to do more, that is.
Just please know, that even though you can't hear most of us, you can't see most of us, we are here.
***************************************************************
May the weight of all of the loss, a loss that would make Hercules knees buckle, subside.
May your children be saved from any more pain, finding warm food and a safe place to hide.
May those who stand to fight, be given the strength of a hundred superheroes, the courage of a million lions' hearts.
May you continue to tap into your fortitude, your bad-assery, your incredible power, your unflappable spirit, all blatantly obvious from the start.
May you, one day soon, dance in the streets, celebrating a victory, even if bittersweet.
May you, one day soon, again have peace, be left to live your lives, joyous, and upbeat.
