    We are helping people enduring unimaginable hardship in a war zone where their children are being stolen and their people slaughtered. Our financials are so structured that money already committed won't be withheld even if the Republicans have a tantrum and shut the government down.

    The defect and the outrage is that Republicans are allowed to take away first responders pay HERE not that it isn't also taken away there. This is classic "they aren't hurting the right people thinking. Fuck you newsweek.

      Do you have a good source on child abduction? As far as I have seen, Russia is removing from warzones children who have been separated from their parents (who, if they are alive, have sometimes fled further into Russian territory, but I digress).

          Frequently that would mean taking the long way out of the warzone, and as I already said often the family is towards Russia rather than western Ukraine. Russia, too, has seen a massive influx of refugees from the war, and that includes fragments of families.
