I am not sure if Ukraine has enough resources to defeat the more numerous Russians. The Iranian drone strikes on Ukrainian power plants is a grievous thing. America does not need the expenses of war. Zelensky asking for Crimea, Luhansk, etc. seemed a bit much. People are tired of Zelensky asking them to give more. Ukraine is spending ammunition and weapons faster than the U.S. can replace them. Much of Ukraine’s industrial production is shut down. The Russians restricted grain exports causing more hunger. There is a worker shortage and high inflation in the U.S. Sending men to war instead of to making things society needs causes more poverty. Ukraine has not been admitted to NATO. NATO nations are suffering high energy prices. German factories are closed due to want of natural gas. The more natural gas that is available, the higher the risk of global warming. The Caribbean Sea was 1-3 degrees F higher than normal when Hurricane Ian formed. This hurricane did $100 billion in damage. Some of that was damage to my home. There is a verse toward the end of Luke’s Gospel about rising seas and men feeling faint upon seeing what is coming. I suppose Russia is to blame. Blaming someone else does not fix the problem when I also suffer from my own mistakes. Innocent people got killed. So it was in the time of Jesus and is today.Before the war, 38-40 million people lived in Ukraine. Europe was able to accommodate about 7 million. Of these 7 million, more than half have already returned to Ukraine, because the EU does not have the resources to feed, clothe, shelter for so many people. Some people are lucky. But not everyone can go EU. There is nowhere to go.
Russia is destroying homes to increase the number of refugees. This is also their weapon. And poor people have nowhere to go...
The more the West helps, the less our people die both on the front lines and in the rear. God has now placed us in dependence on the mercy of the inhabitants of Western countries.
We understand that you have to sacrifice comfort. But it can to save the lives of hundreds of thousands of our people.
