Support of Ukraine
Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport – February 25, 2020
(Sorry I couldn't get a better photo. Camera was put away and I shot this with my phone at the last moment.)
I do not condone war, and shame on those who transgress another nation, killing others for petty gains, assuming life is cheap and disposable. I feel horrible about how Russia has essentially invaded Ukraine and is destroying innocent lives. We can play the "what about..." card all day long and nothing gets done about anything. There's times I turn a blind eye because that's all I can do without going nuts, helpless to do anything when you're tasked with so much in life. I also admit to having a comparatively easy life and can take a lot for granted. And taking a photo from a plane may not be solving anything, but psychologically, any support is better than none at all.
My ancestors left Russia two centuries ago. They were tired of clashing with blind followers and left for America. But not everyone has the ability to do so, and being a refugee is supremely difficult and trying. It might be generations until you're rooted and feel a sense of security. I'm proud of those who will stand and fight for their land, against those who will take it from them. I'm against those who will try to homogenize another's culture. Against an other damned madman in power. I don't even like politics...but this is genuinely more than that. #Ukraine
