Glory to Ukraine ! - Glory to the heroes !
On this day in 2022 Russia started their terrible war on Ukraine. This is what the city of Bucha looked like after the Russian troops’ withdrawal. So much for Putin's "special military operation" into a "brother nation". Needless to say we stand with Ukraine...

Andrey Kurkov: “This war will last as long as Putin is alive”
www.newstatesman.com/podcasts/world-review-podcast/2022/0...
It's a current screen shot, it's not a picture of me, but you have to take a stand against Putin! It's not against Russia, it's a beautiful country like any other country in the world. It is Putin who is putting his own people in this unspeakable situation. Putin's greatest enemy is not NATO but individual freedom and self-determination, which a dictator fears like the devil fears holy water.
I wonder, if we live on a planet with so many resources for everyone, why do some always want more and more? I wonder if in prehistory there was already this political polarization, if we lived like animals, devouring each other. Or if developing this absurd capacity for aggression while we imagined that we were evolving.
Mona Lisa, as everyone knows, is the work of the genius Leonardo. I've been using Mona as a poster girl for comunicate the most varied ideas. This last one is a protest against the ignorance of Wladimir, a being with a crocodile brain, a threat to life. Demonstrating how much his insecurity is capable of destroying under the effect of fear and force, this way Putin lives.
Unfortunately, on our planet, a Leonardo is born, while we have an infinity of Putins. Looking inward, I perceive something of Putin within myself. We have to turn Putin into Leonardo. This is the goal of what we call evolution. It's nothing easy. But you already knew that, didn't you?
Stop the aggression against Ukraine!
Our hearts and prayers go to the innocent people of Ukraine.

Dad, I got a bead on Putin. Now, how do you start this thing?
"Clancy, he'll do himself in eventually."
Long live Ukraine.
"Long live Ukraine."
(Waiting for snow is the hardest thing to do, so hard I almost started a war with Russia all by myself out of frustration. Damn you Putin, and damn you global warming. When Dad was a kid he was at the outdoor skating rinks every Christmas day trying out new hockey gear. These days it's 50-50 that we'll even have a white Christmas. Take it to the streets, take it to your leaders, do your own part, and let's reverse this problem before we get to the point where nothing else will matter.)

Putins Geiseln
vor der Botschaft der Russischen Föderation Berlin
*Im heutigen Russland gibt es 550 politische Gefangene, darunter 394, die wegen ihrer Religion verfolgt werden. Außerdem sitzen mehr als 180 ukrainische Bürger im Gefängnis, die meisten von ihnen Krimtataren, die von den Besatzungsbehörden seit Beginn der Invasion zu insgesamt mehr als 1.300 Jahren verurteilt wurden.
Weitere 568 werden ohne Freiheitsentzug verfolgt, d.h. sie stehen unter Hausarrest, haben Bewährungsstrafen erhalten oder das Land verlassen.
* Nach Angaben des Menschenrechtszentrums MEMORIAL vom Februar 2023 und des ukrainischen Außenministeriums vom Dezember 2022.
Darüber hinaus haben die russischen Behörden zeitgleich mit dem umfassenden Einmarsch in die Ukraine interne Repressionen in einem noch nie dagewesenen Ausmaß eingeleitet. Nachstehend die Zahlen allein für das Jahr 2022.

A message for Putin. Please listen. John Lennon may have been a dreamer and his dreams may not have been possible but his heart sure was in the right place.

I remember exactly where I was when I first heard this song by Lennon. It moved me deeply then and it does today as well, maybe even deeper.
comments off on purpose . . . well, I thought they were anyway.
I'll check the next doll layer next time. He's got to be down there somewhere. And yes, I know, I accidentally flipped the image, I actually like it this way. You'll get over it, you will see.

On Feb. 24, 2022 Russia under Vladmir Putin declared an unprovoked war on Ukraine and launched a full-scale invasion. Russia is currently bombing peaceful Ukrainian cities, including schools and hospitals and attacking civilians who are fleeing conflict zones. During the first week of the war, more than 1 million refugees have been forced to flee Ukraine and the situation for civilians is rapidly deteriorating. Ukraine and its people urgently need your help.

The Faces of Putin.
I spent the last week travelling through Moldova and Ukraine so I've got some interesting shots to share. This was inside a restaurant called Propaganda in Chisinau, Moldova.

At Place du Canada on Boul. René-Lévesque in Montreal, there was a great crowd present, protesting the invasion of the Ukraine. So many flags around the city today.
I am hopeful that Putin gets whacked real soon.
It's been said that Canada claims the highest number of ex-pat Ukrainians.
This is the world Putin wants to recreate.

My family was not untouched by this horrific atrocity from the past, and the entire world will no doubt be affected by the current atrocities.

I've always said, " We should never think the unthinkable can't happen". For those of us in this part of the world that often means never thinking it won't rain today, but elsewhere I mean such as, "Never believe the sun might not rise tomorrow", or that the Earth won't spin off its axis into Outer Space, or a war like the First or Second World War will never happen in Europe again.
Today I don't think the Ukrainians care whether the sun rises tomorrow or not. They have more important things on their minds. I wish other people in this country had had more serious matters on their minds recently. Instead of caring about cake and parties, they should have worried about a lunatic with the same ambitions as Hitler, who did not care if he started World War 3 by invading a peaceful, democratic 'European' nation. Those people who were more bothered about cake and parties will have given encouragement to Putin, that no one was that bothered. Russia has been meddling to undermine western democracy for ages, corrupting elections, the media and internet with lies and misinformation. We live in dangerous times even without Covid (now where did that come from?) and China is not far behind Russia in fighting for world domination.
Twice Britain was at the forefront of restoring freedom to Europe. The EU has played a big part of getting us into this mess with Russia. Indeed the EU was set up to try to prevent war in Europe again. I dread the day we have to show them again that democracy and freedom is better than dictatorship.
I hope Ukraine manages to fight off the aggressors. And that Putin is condemned forever and consigned to the human dustbin of infamy with Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Pol Pot, etc
