Note to Knights on White Horses: Get to Odesa fast and rescue a damsel in distress.  :laugh:

I suspect a lot of these young women prefer to stay and defend their Motherland.

If I were responsible for international education section "biology"...i would add next to hot-blooded and cold-blooded animals, another much more fearsome species: beautiful natural women  :laugh: ( the 35 years old without hesitation)

Part of me doubts they know how to use their equipment.

The beauties in Odessa are already sleeping in their nightgowns down in the bomb shelters..

Bad internet down there apparently easier to chat on whats app then ask for some money for a much needed manicure..

Some left for villages,some for austria, and I know one that went to switzerland.

Why not?
The economic disaster this will be for several years is always going to promote people leaving,if they  ever had interest in doing so.

I wonder if the citizens of Odesa are evacuated do they give a preference to blondes?

Scammers are probably using the war to increase their profits. Reasons are they need money because they are starving and lost their home.


Some Ukrainian refugees have already made it to America. Apparently if a war refugee makes it out of Ukraine, a relative living in America can buy them tickets and the war refugee will get a visa.
Over 220 generals and admirals say we are in a fight for our survival like no other time since 1776. If you want to stop the war in Ukraine, fix elections, stop medical tyranny and forced vaccinations, lower inflation and make America and the world a better place, get Trump back into power. The Democrats and Republicans have shown they can't do the job. They are good at robbing us and getting people killed in non stop wars.
