It is really sad, people who live in Ukraine have told their family in Russia about the Russians attacking them,and their own families don't believe them, they are brainwashed by the State Media that they hear on TV.

While this war is ongoing, let's take a look at the composition of the Ukrainian government. The core decision-making inner circle of Ukrainian President Zelensky is actually based on his circle of friends when he was an actor back in the day:

1. The Chief of Staff of the Presidential Palace, Andre Yemark, is a comedy producer;
2. The head of the Presidential Administration, Andre Bodin, is a lawyer in the entertainment industry;
3. The president's chief policy adviser, Sergey Sheffey, is a comedy writer;
4. Ivan Bakanov, deputy chairman of the Ukrainian Supreme Intelligence Service, is an ED of a comedy film company;
5. Senior adviser to the Ukrainian National Defense Committee, Sergei Sivoko, is also a comedian and is Zelensky's partner in acting.

This resembles Vietnam in many aspects, the US did not understand that Vitetnam's conflict was about independence verses the spread of communism...and they would have fought to the very last person. When the former Secretary of State Robert McNamara met with General Vo Nguyen Giap in Vietnam after the war...General Giap gave McNamara a scolding pointing out that the Vietnamese had been in conflict with China for over a thousand years and that they were in a fight for their independence regardless of how much it was going to take, they never would have given up. It's in the documentary "Fog of War" which won an academy award for best documentary. I highly recommend people watch it. The Ukrainians have no intention of standing down regardless of what Putin throws at them.

Yet Ukraine is caving on things like Crimea. Dont believe everything you hear on us prop media. Besides the west is largely supporting Ukraine for their own interests obviously.

How refreshing. Not a bunch of self-serving career politicians like in most governments. The swamp has been drained, at least in Ukraine.

It's amazing during the course of history that people can rise to the occasion like this. Their leadership through this puts most world leaders to shame....and it is registering with people across the globe. "The Whole World is Watching"
