Music Lovers! Unite in helping Ukraine!


We are fortunate to live in countries that allow us to pursue financial success. I believe most of us on here has attained that to a degree that we are living relatively comfortably.

The Russian military is beginning to utilize all the massive firepower at its disposal. Since their offensive has bogged down, they are changing tactics. Their new tactic is to surround a city and shell it indiscriminately, inflicting as much human misery as possible. A rocket, missile and artillery shell doesn’t care if you are a soldier, old woman, or an infant. Neither does Putin.

When they unleash it like they did in Syria, it will be a humanitarian catastrophe not seen since the Second World War. Death and destruction on a massive scale.

Please, consider giving to a charitable organization to help.

We have so much. Give some of it to whom it will literally make a difference between living and dying. You will be saving a life. A life of someone loved. Just as you love.

This is the charity I used, but there are several more of your choice. International Red Cross, Save the Children, CARE, to name a few.

Please, let’s all do what we can to help.

And yet again;

This thread, in which Tammy was gracious enough to allow happen, is 100% about helping our fellow human beings and nothing else. It is not a political debate. There  are plenty of other forums for that. If you do not care enough to stay on topic and make a donation to help those in dire need, refrain from posting.

In 2001 A'Gon ran charity auctions for 9/11 victims support (no fees/$'s going to them as far as I recall).

21+ years later it's good to see that they are allowing this potentially "politically" active thread (politically active by just 10 monikers as far as I've counted so far - though I have not seen the deleted posts) to remain.

I heard some amazing (and frightening) analysis by ret. General Barry McCaffrey. He claimed to state weeks ago that The Russian army would encounter the issues and problems they did. Whenever I hear him speak it renews my faith in our US intelligence and military leadership. He paints a very grim picture of a proxy war with the west via an unhinged leader with nothing left to do than commit atrocities. I can only hope for the Ukrainian people, and will donate.

I have had a thesis for years that humans are not an intelligent species, and the fact that in the year 2022, with all we should have learned as a species from our past mistakes, we have a innocent people being killed and terrorized just because someone can.

In my highly uneducated armchair position, perhaps it wasn’t unreasonable for Russia to not want NATO forces next door.

We should all remember who wanted to weaken NATO as much as possible.
