Editor,

Thank you for sharing coverage on the crisis in Ukraine. I would like to share a local perspective. I have been a San Mateo resident since 2005 and a San Francisco Bay Area resident since 1979. This is my home.

YES - Please support Ukraine.

My experience:

We have a beloved friend that is hunkered down in Kyiv, Ukraine at this time as the City is being invaded and attacked/bombed. She has food, water, and communications, and a great attitude. We are trying to help her get out of the Country.

.........President Biden has said on the news that he supports the refugees coming into America, however his office has not replied to my communications asking for help. Also, I am told he has not set up a system/program to aid the refugees.

........I contacted Assemblywoman Speier's Office. They also cannot help.

So it looks like these refugees so far don't have much help from our politicians or Biden Administration. Some help may be coming from NGO's for American citizens.

It is heartwarming to see Ukraine's neighboring countries welcome the refugees with open arms when they flee Ukraine. Quite a powerful, positive lesson for all the world.

God bless them all, and yes, I and my family support Ukraine.

It would help if pro-Putin useful idiots like Tucker Carlson would shut up!

No kidding. The Kremlin is urging Russian media to use Tucker Carlson clips.

TT - you and Jorg are just following the the prevailing mindset, mostly fueled by the corrupt media, that one cannot explain why Putin is attacking. Tucker is not excusing Putin's atrocious behavior but he trying to get us to understand the reason for the attack. But, in your books, any opposing or even enlightening opinions are no longer allowed under your interpretation of the First Amendment. I feel sorry for your loss.

Dirk: Don’t you understand that a useful idiot like Tucker on Fox is being used as Russian propaganda, for Putin and against the country he so viciously attacked? Is that what you want? Has nothing to do with the "First Amendment"!

Do we see a narrowing gap here between ultra-Republicanism and ultra-Communism? Any real difference between their respective ways of fooling the masses, - like most religions?
