To the Front or to Poland

The wall against which eight men were executed by russia a short distance from Kyiv

Two men one forty one mid 20s, one heading to the front one leaving the country. You might pick the 20 year-old going to the front and the 40 leaving the country but you’d be wrong. It’s the opposite. The 40 year-old is going back for his third year at the front, the young man on the train with his mother has all the proper papers but the border officer I can tell has suspicions. I observed, and she noticed, that the mother’s face flushed as her son handed over his papers. I doubt he will be coming back. What a choice, the mother, her son, and the soldier have made. I won’t judge. It is their choice, and Ukraine, perhaps more of Europe, hangs in the balance.

America has a choice; will we give Ukraine the resources to protect her civilians and drive the russians back, or will our leaders be the Neville Chamberlain of this century?

If you don’t know who he is, your lack of interest in history is the problem.
