There are no red lines, just red tape, and BS

Where is the political will? Where are the values? The morals?

Exactly one month to go to the American election. Whoever will be president, please God they can focus on real issues, and also, grow some balls.

“russia targeting an orphanage, a playground, or a children’s cancer hospital has become a routine the world got used to. Ukraine striking military bases and airfields deeply inside russia is considered an escalation to be avoided. What a shameful time for the free world.“

“Russian invasion is on a world war scale, but Ukraine alone is fighting it, keeping us in a 1938-like historical moment. Meanwhile, the White House continues to accept Russia’s arbitrary new rules of warfare, which is the only thing preventing Russian defeat.”

“Ukraine is not allowed to strike military targets in russia but russia is allowed to hit kid’s playgrounds in Ukraine? What a strange war!“

“There is no alternative to Ukraine winning this war. Because if Russia wins, then all of us lose – not only in Europe but worldwide.” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen spells out what’s at stake in Ukraine.

“Freedom is not just an absence of evil. Freedom is a presence of good. It is the value of values, the condition in which we choose and combine the good things, bringing them into the world, leaving our own unique trace. It is positive.”

The Bun man is 4 years old today. Wow, he has had quite a journey through life, even though he won’t remember it. And fortunately for him, he has had no trauma from the war. I love this little man more than I ever could have imagined. And I love being his dad. Happy birthday Bun. He is a proper oke, as Marta likes to say.

What next, locusts … ?

In Wroclaw we will find out tomorrow if the city will need to evacuate. Just two weeks ago I was at home in Kyiv and there were many nights of missile attacks and bomb shelters. And now, a flood over here in southern Poland … ?!

Yesterday we spent many hours going from store to store trying to buy bottled water. The shelves were generally empty. There is anxiety here and panic is in the air.

If Wroclaw does flood I don’t believe there were will be any mortal danger like in some other cities that have already been hit, but the local news is suggesting that the electricity may go out and the plumbing may stop if the city does get flooded in the next 24 hours.

Wroclaw is the prettiest city in Poland it reminds me of Prague. There are rivers and canals all over the place, and it is charming and gentle place. If raging river waters do cause chaos here then I wonder what else is going to happen in the world. Locusts … ?

“Boy was I surprised. Kyiv is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen. What has touched me the most since I have been here are you the people.

Life is going on. It is important for the world to see not just the front line which we see the horrendous pictures and we see the risks you are taking and the heroism by your soldiers, but to see the life behind the front line. To see how strong you are. To see the culture.”
