Terrible but expected. What a waste. The headquarters of the 36th Ukrainian Naval Infantry Brigade based in the southern city of Mykolaiv is no more. UPDATED!

The headquarters of the 36th Ukrainian Naval Infantry Brigade based in the southern city of Mykolaiv is no more. It is now a pile of rubble, where on Saturday rescuers continued to search for bodies of missing marines. https://t.co/KzAIaes0Kn

People are posturing and men (on both sides) are dying. I bet money when this is all over we're gonna hear stories about friends, family, relations of some type having killed each other in this fight.

Many talk of the courage to pick up a gun?  Cool.  I got that and I get it (kind funny that the loudest voices in the US will travel halfway around the world but scared to join their local law enforcement but that's a different discussion) but it takes as much or more courage to find peace.

Time for leadership to get courageous.  The time for playing to crowd has long passed.

UPDATE.  Wonder how many guys going over just LARP in their basement and actually have no military experience?

And that is why these amateur fighters do not help anyone
