I hope people who want to support Ukraine understand the best way to do that is cancel their debt. This has not been considered by the West and much of the cash sent to them as aid is used to service that debt. Western loans, IMF debt, tends to have strings attached like selling public utilities ie austerity measures and giving reconstruction contracts to specific entities ie Blackrock.
A brilliant move by Putin as the whole 2014 coup in Ukraine was about overthrowing a government who chose Russian aid and putting in place a government who would accept IMF or Western aid instead. I'm sure Ukrainian nationals would find this very interesting.

While countries like Russia and Cuba do great things, the USA bombs them, coups them, and overall, exploits and screws them over. Cuba sends doctors all over the world. There is no reason why the USA could not do the same kind of things, and with all the idiotic motherfuckers in Washington, for lack of a better insult, who distribute trillions of dollars to their arms industries, a whole lot of good could be done, and it would improve the image of the USA, and, ease world-wide tensions. But no, these bastards have to play arm-chair warriors, chickenshits who you will never see on the front lines of any of the wars they instigate.

@Archeus_Lore Well spoken
This is finally good, people noticed who the terrorists are.
I've been talking about the horrors of the middle east wars all to be interrupted by someone pet rat who was hammered to death. Because a kid wasn't getting good enough school grades.
Vlad is a war criminal. It no longer matters if he suddenly comes upon the wisdom of Solomon, far as I'm concerned. I agree with putting him in a cell next to Jr's so that they can look into each other's eyes some more but I don't listen to what Jr has to say, either, so I'm consistent.

@Druvius Nations, like any other sinner, must pay for their sins. This is what is meant by life not being free. Until States Of America pays for ours (in what manner is not up to me) we can not heal and move forward. Russia will also have to pay for theirs. China does not believe in sin so much as unavoidable consequence of unavoidable actions.

Chuck Volod in there too
Put all the top politicians of the world in prison for treason. ROr forgive them and go after the financial overlords who hired those Psychopaths.
