Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has requested veterans worldwide to apply for service at their Ukrainian embassy. For US Veterans and police you can volunteer to find and extract US citizens. However, no one would fault you if, on the way, you happen to render medical aid or teach militia how to use the stingers, mortars, and shoulder mounted AT that they are receiving.
Failure to stop Putin here will embolden China to take Taiwan, which will cause Japan to retaliate and will drag our Navy into what is highly likely to become a nuclear conflict. China will not pursue this course if the Russians fail. The only way to stop Russia without causing a tactical nuke trade-off is with boots on the ground.
If you are a combat vet or policeman you can volunteer. Teach the militia, keep your head down, and come back. Then run for Congress, because you're a badass and we need people of honor running our country. You are expected to fund your own way over there. There's some talk about receiving $20k a month once there, but you'll need to talk with the Ukrainian embassy about that. Legally, you can go and volunteer without losing citizenship, so don't worry about that.
If you can't afford travel and equipment expenses, send a direct message to the President of the international corporation DocGo, which is like Doctors Without Borders. He's volunteered to fund anyone who wants to go: www.linkedin.com...
Contact the Ukraine Embassy to be guided through the process (You'll need to contact them by phone. Their embassy website is getting so much traffic that it has crashed):
Phone: (202) 349-2963
Address: 3350 M St NW, Washington, DC 20007

People need to make up their minds-do you want a global police force or not? People want the US to intervene if they feel like something happening is bad-but bad things happen everywhere. How can we choose where and when to intervene?
The answer is: we don’t have to-it is chosen for us.
We really need to start getting more mature and stop falling for the same crap before it is too late. This happens all the time and we are on repeat.
Putin has bombed kindergartens, schools, homes, civilians. He has committed war crimes and needs to be stopped.

Which brings me wonder, where's Mossad? I can't believe that they aren't ninja-ing something up over there.

Isn't there a Book somewhere with a prophecy about the entire world being in chaos and turmoil, then some guy comes along and offers a solution that mesmerizes the masses with the promise of solving all the worlds' problems? Everybody thinks he's great and boards the 'peace' train.
I don't see any world leader that fits that description yet, but the 'world at war' seems to be drawing closer to being a reality.

Hundreds of millions of homes in over 200 lands have been visited not once or twice but dozens of times by these Kingdom proclaimers. The result? Not world conversion, for that is not what the Bible foretold. Instead, Jesus’ prophecy says: “And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come.”—Matt. 24:14.
Destruction of What?
As the rest of the Bible shows, the “end” refers not to the end of planet Earth nor of all the inhabitants on it. It refers to the destruction of a world system of things that has been unrighteous from its start.
Refusing to be guided by God’s law and to settle their differences by it in peace, for thousands of years men have made this earth a battlefield in which, not justice, but ‘might makes right.’ They struggle to gain or retain commercial advantage, political influence and power, or expansion of territorial rights. They give vent to religious prejudice, nationalistic pride or racial hatred. And to accomplish these selfish aims they have not held back from ruthless killing, almost invariably accompanied by looting, raping and other acts of cruelty. Can we believe that the Almighty God will never require an accounting for all this? Could he merit our trust and worship as a God of righteousness if he did not?
The ‘day of Jehovah’ of which the apostle wrote is God’s time for just such an accounting. But there will be survivors. And for all those who have repudiated the godless way of the nations and who love righteousness and want to escape the “sudden destruction” coming, these encouraging words spoken to ancient Israel will apply:
“Go, my people, enter into your interior rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for but a moment until the denunciation passes over. For, look! Jehovah is coming forth from his place to call to account the error of the inhabitant of the land against him, and the land will certainly expose her bloodshed and will no longer cover over her killed ones.”—Isa. 26:20, 21.

Speakers roundly called for an end to violence and a start to constructive peace talks. Some drew attention to the conflict’s origin. The representative of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea said the root cause of the current situation rests with the United States and other Western countries. These States have systematically undermined the European security environment by defying the Russian Federation’s reasonable demand for legal security guarantees and pursuing the eastward expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Recalling the violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya by the United States and the West under the pretext of international peace and security, he said that it is “absurd” for such countries to mention respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity in the context of the Ukrainian situation.
Some delegates representing small States decried the “might makes right” concept, which many agreed must be replaced with the guiding principles of the Charter of the United Nations.
“This is a crisis for all of us, and we all must speak out for diplomacy and support this resolution,” said the representative of Antigua and Barbuda. The international community has the responsibility to speak out, “lest our silence be misconstrued as consent”. As such, he called on all countries — especially small island States — to affirm that “might is not right”.
