Among the heartbreaking images of death and destruction coming out of Ukraine on Friday was an awe-inspiring photo, shared by former First Lady Kateryna Yushchenko, of an 80-year-old man enlisting in the army to fight for his grandchildren.

Yushchenko - who grew up in America and is married to Viktor Yushchenko - posted the photo on Twitter on Thursday night.

'Someone posted a photo of this 80-year-old who showed up to join the army, carrying with him a small case with 2 t-shirts, a pair of extra pants, a toothbrush and a few sandwiches for lunch. He said he was doing it for his grandkids,' she said.

Your post here prove you're a communist. You're post of taking land from farmers who didn’t farm proves it. You're a complete embarrassment.

That actually doesn't prove he's a communist. What else do you have, specifically, that can be checked against the actual definition and formal categorisation?

Does Americans have the same wide-ranging love of country that we've seen the the Ukranians? This is eerie seeing this in modern times.

Ukraine, a nation of 42 million people, does not have one single nation, not a one, that is willing to help them fight the invading Russian army.
 
May I ask what industry you were in?

What? I am a medical transit driver. I was a flooring installer for 26 years until I was forced 12 years ago by extreme degenerative arthritis to find something I could do to be productive and not be on disability.

You gonna make fun of that?
 
Seriously? That ship sailed in WW I. When you decide to lay the war game everybody loses. So why should his mistress get to live in luxury on stolen money?

Yeah, because collateral damage is totally okay because "war."

If she is in a non-aligned country we have decent relations with as well as being nothing more than a mistress, what possible help to our cause would snatching her up do?

We've bullied enough over the last 30 years. And where has that gotten us?

It's sad and heartwarming at the same time. Many will surely die but would rather fight and possibly die fighting for their principles and right to determine their own future.

Admirable, we are too spoiled and too coddled to completely understand it.

Actually AK-74s...

I really could become a weapons consultant for the media.
 
Sorry if this has been mentioned, but there is a rumor the Biden administration shared intelligence with China about Russia. The Biden administration was trying to get China to side with NATO. China basically said forget about it then is rumored to have shared the intel with Russia.
