War Porn, or "what weapons do to bodies irl" for those who need a reminder.

In Ukraine, Amputees Are Ready to Give More

Some are planning their return to the battlefield on artificial legs.

Oh my gosh, it's like they're Jerry's Kids at this point...

If we all agree to chip in $5 and send another billion or two, can we just make this disastrous telethon end?  


Whether today, in 24 months, or back in March of 2022, there are going to be no winners here. 


If you don't care much about human life,

look at what the United States is doing to the environment paying to prolong this one -- nuclear plants at risk, dams, pipelines, chemical warfare?  Nobody is going to walk away with all the territory they want, and NATO membership is doubtful too -- which would only serve to unnecessarily provoke Putin's fears...


How the West Was Lost


So much suffering, so many column inches wasted... for what?  

A few feet of ground here and there over the years?  What a silly war we are paying to wage.  Spending our dollars on so much human suffering... and the cluster bombs haven't even arrived yet.


The world was a better place when Princess Di was still alive, and we valued beauty and life more.  Ah well... neverending wars.  "This too shall pass."
