Any DUers watching this Richard Engel special on the war in Ukraine?

[JudyM]

Well done political/social narrative and family vignettes.

1. yes, it is riveting and also depressing AF

8. Truth. Really drove home the human cost, the struggle to survive, the broken hearts

and the fierce passion to maintain their democracy.

It was tightly edited but flowed well between broad historical explanation and very personal realities. Wouldn’t be surprised if it wins an award, right?

The voices, the tenderness, the images will last in viewers’ minds I think.

2. I can't. I'm glad to hear it's powerful.

[RicROC]

5. it's powerful, and I feel powerless.

Even powerless to stem the fascist tide in the US.

[JudyM]

9. What we need is someone to do a piece like this about rethug fascism. Lay it out this clearly

and compellingly.

[onecaliberal]

14. Yeah that's why I can't. We can still do a lot here. Organize, talk to people, make calls, or write

Post cards. You can register people to vote or help get folks to the poll.

[moondust]

4. Yes. Agree.

Good recap.

[pwb]

6. No

.

[JudyM]

10. Yes, there's that.

I know how you feel. We’re getting help from various sullied sources these days and I feel like we take what we can get, especially since our media support isn’t as robust as we need it to be, to say the least.

11. And now the Afghan pull out is done and over and not even...

hardly mentioned anymore. One relatively minor strike by the Taliban at the end of the pull out and Engel and the rest made it a huge deal by bashiing Biden up and down when he was the one who had the courage to get out...did trump's neglected work for him.

16. Biden was right to get out of there seeing what is going on there right now . It has also made it

easier to help with Ukraine .

Also there are clashes with Pakistan and AFghanistan in the border area which Afghanistan does not recognize and recently Pakistan launched a strike in Afghanistan which ended up killing mostly women and children . A lot of Pakistani soldiers have been killed .

There is a lot of internal conflicts in these areas which the US can't do much about .
