I care - and so should you. Events like this can range in importance from a "nothing" except to those personally involved, to the catalyst that kicks off WWIII.
The funny thing about current events is that it is almost always impossible to judge their importance or potential impact while they are ongoing. Only the blissfully (?) ignorant would assume that a situation is irrelevant simply because it is not taking place within his/her own national borders.

Well ok. I am once again being threatened.I got a feeling your going to receive a visit from a moderator. And you think your an A-hole they do not get paid!
But what I said was true. Count the posts yourself. I opened this thread because the heading caught my eye. The front page list said there was over 16 post at the time I originally opened the thread. So I though. Maybe I should take a look and see what is going on.
What did I Find?
Only to find 20 or so post. Made one right after the other by the OP.
More than several were exactly the same. All posted by the op.
SO I MADE A SUGGESTION.
I didn't call anyone a name.
I didn't say anything that wasn't true.
Now some of you have called me a A- hole.
Now you mister Medic threaten me with a visit by a moderator.
Who really are how did you say it? " I got a feeling your going to receive a visit from a moderator. And you think your an A-hole they do not get paid!
Hopefully someone will get to you and straighten it out before Dennis see's it! "

Because I have worn those shoes already, been where you been, it is not what you said, but the tone in what is said. It would be like me saying hey a-hole who are you to say whether he can post to his own thread! Notice each tweet was a separte tweet from twitter that he was copying and pasting not an easy task if there were 10 or like you said 20. And by the way Daniel Boone is a legend... Why pick on a legend. Like you said you can be an A-hole and you were. Just agreeing with you! Most of us here have been there and done that.

LUTSK, Ukraine (AP) — An “unstable” armed man who seized more than a dozen hostages on a long-distance bus in Ukraine’s western city of Lutsk was detained late Tuesday after a standoff that lasted for over 12 hours and all hostages were freed unharmed, officials said.
The assailant agreed to release the hostages following a 15-minute phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Zelenskiy’s deputy chief of staff Kyrylo Tymoshenko told reporters.
Shortly after the call, Zelenskiy posted a brief video message on his Facebook page to urge Ukrainians to watch “Earthlings,” a 2005 American documentary exposing humanity’s cruel exploitation of animals - as the hostage-taker had wanted.
Minutes later, the assailant walked out of the bus and surrendered to the police. Authorities said all 13 hostages he held were freed and no one was hurt.
Earlier, following negotiations with the first deputy chief of national police, Yevhen Koval, the man had released three of the hostages, including a pregnant woman. At one point during the conversation, he fired his gun through the bus window and a bullet narrowly missed Koval, who also brought water for the hostages.
After the drama ended, Zelenskiy hailed law enforcement officers for saving the hostages.
“Human life is the most important value,” he said on Facebook. “Now families can finally hug their relatives who spent the entire day on the bus in anguish.”
Speaking to reporters, Ukraine’s Interior Minister Arsen Avakov described the assailant as “an unstable man who painted his vision of the world and invented a revenge for it.”
“He had his own vision of justice and the value of human life,” Avakov said.
Ukrainian media said the man was an animal rights activists who helped protect stray dogs.
As the hostage drama unfolded, police sealed off the center of Lutsk, 400 kilometers (250 miles) west of the capital Kyiv. At one point, the assailant threw explosives out of a bus window, but no one was hurt. He also fired several shots at a police drone.
The man called the police himself at 9:25 a.m. (0625 GMT) after taking control of the vehicle and introduced himself as Maksim Plokhoy, Deputy Interior Minister Anton Gerashchenko said on Facebook.
According to Gerashchenko, police have identified the man as Maksim Krivosh, a 44-year-old Ukrainian born in Russia. Krivosh had reportedly been convicted twice on a wide range of charges — robbery, fraud, illegal arms handling — and spent a total of 10 years behind bars.
According to reports, Krivosh tried to reach out to journalists through hostages and their phones, demanding that they spread the word about his demands and get more reporters to arrive at the scene.

Pride comes before the fall.....Pride month ended.
Hope this doesn't embolden peta here in the US. I've noticed a lot of those animal cruelty commercials thru this covid thing. Laying it on thick since so many are watching the tube these days. Daniels work is greatly appreciated by me. Thanks D.
