I am in full lurker mode now, but this was certainly worth a quick log-in and thanks. Incredibly unselfish act legoman. I can't imagine the hell that you and your wife have been through HW, and I am so happy you and your wife are re-united. Amazing!
Also kudos to CP for having such an informative thread so well filtered of rubbish and propaganda, and pretty much just containing the facts.
As for my piss-ant opinion on this. I believe this ends with a pseudo-revolution and the imprisonment and/or execution of Putin and his cronies, as long as Ukraine can hold out to really let the sanctions bite. He's already lost this war no matter the outcome. Russians have had a 30 year taste of the western world, they are not going to accept going back to 1970's USSR.
Slowly the truth will be revealed, that he's walking young naive soldiers into a meat grinder, to massacre innocent people, and I believe the majority of Russians will not stand for it. This isn't North Korea, where basically nobody has been able to come or go and communicate with the outside world for 50 years. These people have connections globally, and will see through the propaganda in due time. I believe this hits a boiling point and they will do the right thing, and take matters into their own hands. Russia isn't evil, it's leader and government is.
Hang in there Ukraine. You are a beacon of light in a very complicated world. And I know you will prevail. And I say that as someone with very significant Russian ancestral roots.
