Kyiv residents given guns as Russian forces approach.
The government says it is handing out 18,000 machine guns to "all those who want to defend our capital"

I've been wondering if this lunatic has a terminal illness and doesn't care anymore.
He just wants to get into the history books before he goes.

Putin is evil. I really believe he is raging because years ago he built an entire olympic gymnasium and put his daughter there and other children were put there away from their families to train so Russia would get all the gold medals. He thinks he is just a great sports guy. Nix the great because young children were taken away from their families in pursuit of gold. I do believe all the olympic medals from state sponsored athletes should never be allowed. Government is supposed to take a backseat to the games. I may sound crazy but the timing is there. He is a destructive force.

Russia bans British airlines from its airspace - BBC News
''British airlines have been banned from landing at Russia's airports and from crossing its airspace, the Russian civil aviation regulator has said.

Russia said the move was a response to "the unfriendly decisions by the UK aviation authorities".

On Thursday, the UK banned Russia's national airline Aeroflot from landing in Britain.

The measure was part of sanctions introduced following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine.

UK Defence Secretary Ben Wallace told ITV: "I think that's their retaliation for us yesterday banning Aeroflot from using and landing in the United Kingdom. That's their tit for tat response."

Russia's civil aviation authority Rosaviatsia said the measure was taken "as a response to unfriendly decisions by the UK aviation authorities regarding the restriction on regular flights of aircraft owned, leased or operated by a person associated with Russia or registered in Russia".

I'm not a believer but this is it....
Greed
Main article: Greed

The Worship of Mammon (1909) by Evelyn De Morgan.
Greed (Latin: avaritia), also known as avarice, cupidity, or covetousness, is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of desire. However, greed (as seen by the Church) is applied to an artificial, rapacious desire and pursuit of material possessions. Thomas Aquinas wrote: "Greed is a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things." In Dante's Purgatory, the penitents are bound and laid face down on the ground for having concentrated excessively on earthly thoughts. Hoarding of materials or objects, theft and robbery, especially by means of violence, trickery, or manipulation of authority are all actions that may be inspired by greed. Such misdeeds can include simony, where one attempts to purchase or sell sacraments, including Holy Orders and, therefore, positions of authority in the Church hierarchy.[citation needed]

In the words of Henry Edward, avarice "plunges a man deep into the mire of this world, so that he makes it to be his god".[5]

As defined outside Christian writings, greed is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs, especially with respect to material wealth.[31] Like pride, it can lead to not just some, but all evil.[2]

Here's a letter I found from the previous President of Latvia - Vaira Vike Freibergs

American Latvian Forum

I met Vike Freibergs at her daughter-in-law's birthday party.

NO TO WAR protests in 53 Russian cities have started. 1,700 arrested so far. This is in St. Petersburg on 2/24/22. Yes! Let the Russian people start marching by the thousands & thousands & thousands & the tyrant will fall, gold palace & all. This change can only come from within by the Russian people themselves.
NO TO WAR!
