Putin isn’t worried about the world’s opinions. He’s time traveling back to the time of the czars, when young men were conscripted for long durations. Jews for 25 years. Sometimes a lifetime. My grandparents, Jews, fled Russia/Ukraine and Lithuania in 1909. The men would have to serve unless they were lame. My grandfather was missing a digit.

And continues to fuel his relentless destruction of the Ukrainian people and the country. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/25/vladimir-putin-ukraine-attack-antisemitism-denazify

Now he is on a path to destroy his own young people. Especially ethnic minorities. One million soldiers? Could that be a typo? Just to destroy Ukraine. And like Hitler, he has not been stopped by his own people. Yet.

There was much in today’s letter to spur further examination, reflection and anticipation, but the words about Biden’s help to Puerto Rico,

‘Here at home, President Biden has rushed help to Puerto Rico.’ (Letter)

Those were the words that spoke to my heart. President Biden is a good person. He is a true public servant.
