Veterans Going to Ukraine?

Published March 8, 2022 by Nan Mykel

“Sanctions can help, but sanctions can’t help right now, and people need help right now,” said a former U.S. Marine, one of a surge of American veterans who say they are now preparing to join the fight in Ukraine, emboldened by the invitation of the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, who earlier this week announced he was creating an “international legion” and asked volunteers from around the world to help defend his nation against Russia.

As Dave Philipps reported in the March 5 nytimes, the risk of unintended escalation has led the U.S. federal government to try to keep citizens from becoming freelance fighters, not just in this conflict, but for centuries…

Who Is Zelensky?

A PLACE FOR POLITICS

politics – in a civilized society

“When peace like a river attendeth my way; when sorrows like sea billows roll….”

A young friend and his wife stopped by to help Jim with a plumbing problem– the wife and I sat to talk for a while. They have two children, 7 and 8, in school. We were able to agree that all this hullabaloo over covid-19 has become by far too politicized. She doesn’t want their kids to grow up ‘scared of the world’ nor unable to socialize normally. I understand her point and agree. If only she and I could be examples of what our political process needs to be – a give and take kitchen table chat…no name-calling, no diminishing of the other to make a point.

“…….whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, “It is well, it is well with my soul.”

HORATIO SPAFFORD

Whatever our lot may be – social distancing, self-isolation, masking or unmasking, differences in political opinions – we must maintain a civil conversation for the health of our soul, both personal and collectively as a nation. If we can’t speak our truth with kindness, then we are destined to repeat the history of great societies before us which have failed. It starts with you and me. What are we doing today to nourish healthy and vibrant souls?

TOO MUCH

THE SPOONs they go round and round

in Someone’s hands, I hope, stirring up

just too much to digest. Craziness,

wherefore art thou shrink?!

Scraps of footage of blown-up television towers, Russian helicopters coming under what looks like antiaircraft fire, apartment buildings being hit with missiles and the stirring footage of the citizens of Kyiv arming themselves have been seen around the world. Many of these are real, but many more have not been confirmed or verified. We might see what it looks like when an airstrike hits an apartment building, but we do not really know anything else. Where is this building? Who fired upon it? How many people are dead? Is it even in Ukraine?

Predictably enough, some of the more stirring footage out of Ukraine has been debunked or had its veracity brought into serious question. This includes video of the so-called Ghost of Kyiv, the purported fighter pilot who took down six Russian planes, and the reported deaths of the soldiers stationed at Snake Island who Zelensky said had died heroically but in fact are all still alive. Widely circulated video that purportedly showed a young Ukrainian girl confronting a Russian soldier actually showed Ahed Tamimi, a young Palestinian activist who was filmed near her home in the West Bank. The footage was shot in 2012.

We choose which videos we care about and which ones we do not. This seems simple enough. Our relative acceptance and the timbre of our emotional responses, of course, rely on a mélange of previously held beliefs. In this case, our understanding seems right: One should abhor Vladimir Putin and feel outraged by the invasion of a sovereign nation. As Americans, we should also applaud and feel inspired by the bravery of the Ukrainian people as they defend their homeland from a tyrannic invasion.

But we should be able to hold two thoughts in our heads at once. One: The invasion of Ukraine is a humanitarian catastrophe and a uniquely destabilizing event that will destroy lives both in Ukraine and in Russia. Two: So much of what we’ve seen about Ukraine — the images and videos that have inspired the public — are not real. Last week, Sophie Pinkham, an expert on Ukraine and Russia, came on the podcast I host with two of my friends. She estimated that roughly 75 percent of what’s being said about what’s happening in Ukraine is either unverified or just flat out false.

Don’t say why, say how.

Why presupposes an

unattainable degree

of reason, as in truth.

Happiness happened

in graduate school, with

wonder and growing edges

always in process,

Connecting in the same

tongue searching for the

how, puzzled by all the

unsolved mysteries

All the learning not

yet used! The flying bishop,

prophetic dreams, who,

what when where how

The tip of the plow

still unearthing that

which might be now

or in the future.

Could quantum mechanics,

going with the flow, free us

to occupy a niche in

our haunted cave?

I’m still curious and

not willing to leave my

lust for understanding

back with my bones.

Should that occur, I shall

go out hollering and hope

to transition into someone

else’s Muse.
