Suffering

 It's nothing less than tragic, watching the war unfold in Ukraine.  A tyrant wants to re-establish an empire along the lines of the old USSR.  He won't admit it of course, but Mr Putin wants to bring together the countries which were under the tyranny of the communist party in Russia.  In pursuing his aims, he doesn't seem to care who gets killed in the process, old or young, male or female.  Like other tyrants before him, he seems to be unaware or uncaring that Almighty God will hold him to account if the rulers of this world can't.
