Well as long as we have a free Ukraine in the end, right? no matter the cost
Do you know how many people I spoke to over there who we willing to concede to Russia? If your guess is above the number 'zero' you guessed too high. That's the difference, they're in it to the end. Russians, not so much. If someone came into your home and started smashing s*** you'd feel the same way.

Biden should have sent Vice-President Klamalla just for the laughs alone.
Klamella's laughs alone would get the Ruskies out of Ukraine faster than anything.

Would you mind sharing some highlights and observations from your trip?
Perhaps a synopsis?
I, for one, would be interested.
A portion of it was personal so I am reluctant to discuss this. I'll answer anything else though.

How many of them were Nazis?
Asking for a friend.

Oh, all of them, of course. Every home I visited had copies of Mein Kampf on the table next to the borscht and salo.

I feel for the Ukrainians; I do. I just wonder why we're funding them and abandoning our own when they're facing disaster.

Only what you're comfortable sharing or have the desire to share.
Your honest impressions are what is really important.

First off, I was expecting things to be very different than here. They aren't tremendously different, it's just much poorer and access to the same conveniences as we have are much more limited. In some of the nicer areas you would think you're in Western Europe, cafes, restaurants, shops, etcetera.
I found the people to be very appreciative, to the point it was a little uncomfortable. While many had very little they were always generous and hospitable when you visited.
My general comment would be if you spoke with them you'd find you have numerous aspects in common, particularly the major ones like a desire for peace, freedom, family, love of country and a desire for giving something better to their children.

I remember feeling the exact same thing after sailing to Grenada shortly after Reagan expelled the Russians and Cubans.
The locals couldn't bring me my Mojitos fast enough.
