This made me so sad.

May be off topic but here goes.

Atrocity for me does not have to mean quantity. For me the men, women & children killed in the Ukraine due to Putin are as much an atrocity as when Hitler decided war was the way to get what he wanted.

For sure it is difficult to be seeing from the outside the ongoing death of people both military & civilian due to one man. It's no secret that helping without becoming directly involved is delicate. It looks like the best to hope for now is that the defenders of the Ukraine will be successful on their own.
 

It upsets me that there are people (politicians, mostly) that say this is fake and it never happened...and what's even WORSE, there are a lot of people that believe them. After the war, there were many Germans that didn't believe their "beloved Furor" would do such a thing until they were personally taken to the concentration camps and saw first hand the horror.

People sure are gullible and easily brainwashed, aren't they? Our world is getting worse all the time. I'd like to believe that we've learned a lesson, but I don't think so.

Yes, Putin seems so intent on getting his own way that he is prepared to kill all Ukrainians, whoever they are. It's the same as a lover saying 'If I can't have you, nobody will'....and committing murder.

Men's wedding bands tend to be wider than what's in that photo and women's wedding rings almost always have a mount for a gem. They look more like grommets.

Back then women hardly ever had gems in their wedding bands. Engagement rings traditionally had a diamond, but most wedding bands were plain unadorned bands.

I love diamonds!! and as a young child my Mum was always astounded that I could describe in detail the jewelry her lady friends wore, especially the diamonds which were often part of the wedding sets they wore on their fingers.

I relate that anecdote, only because I was very observant of the rings, and I can say with some accuracy that none ot the women I observed had gems in their wedding bands, which was often on its own. Even the occasional diamond engagement ring I saw was always accompanied by a plain wedding band, more often gold rather than platinum.

Can't recall the title but some decades ago i read a book that was basically interviews Boomer Generation Germans about the difficulty getting their elders to open up about all that, tho they themselves learned the raw facts in school.

What lesson if it happens so Hitler (Putin)
Threatens missiles to the USA, yet we let it go to stop this bs in the start.
Should we watch now the children cry mother on fire while still alive.
And no one will stand up to the short guy as Hilter was too. I feel someone needs to replace him immediately.
Communism is not ok.
