I have developed Pride in these Countries and / or People recently

The events of the last 2 weeks (Russia's genocide of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022) has given me respect for these nations and people:

Ukrainians - For fighting on their own for freedom, as the free world watches from afar, paralyzed with fear. The Ukrainian people are standing directly up to this devil, something no one else is willing to do, even the USA. I have never been more proud of a country and a people in all my life, than I am about Ukraine. As far as I am concerned, I see Ukraine as the real leader of the free world.

Poland - for accepting refugees and showing them kindness

Turkey - for blocking the ports Russia wanted to use to bring in warships

Russians - that fight Putin in his house, protest Putin's war and go to jail for doing so

The World must unite to defeat this madman. I am so very proud of everyone who has the courage to stand up to this evil, and I support them fully, in any way I can
