I literally can’t imagine trying to save her life while trying to protect her from a war that’s also trying to kill her. There was no way we could have moved her bcuz she was too sick. These families are being made to do something unthinkable and possibly impossible in some cases; all bcuz Russia is targeting civilians. These are war crimes of the highest order.

    There is even more to this elderly woman Anderson Cooper is talking about near the end of the video. She is one of the last survivors of the blockade of Leningrad. During WW2 the city was completely surrounded by Nazi Germany and Finnish troops, to cut off the population from food supplies in order to take the city. The siege lasted from 1941 to the beginning of 1944 and nearly 1.1 million civilians died of diseases or starvation. Now in her late 80s, she still has the strength and courage to protest and advocate for peace. The fact that the Russian police doesn't even stop at a survivor of this tragedy, a national hero, only shows the complete ruthlessness of Putin.

      When he spoke about the mothers having to take desperately ill children and flee to get better treatment... yeah. He's a parent, I'm a parent, you may well be a parent - it hits deep (especially when you've had an acutely ill child for even a relatively short length of time). But you observe rightly that he has ALWAYS been that humanitarian man. He really is passionate about people and what he does.
      I cried too, hon. Prayer works for some - I am going to go look now, though, and see what other options there are for the support of Ukrainian civilians, at such a remove.

    Here in Ireland, ive heard from syrian refugees about how painful it is to see the outpouring of unconditional support and love for ukraine. They jumped through such harrowing monstrous hoops to get to safety, and then the EU and North america opens its arms to ukraine. Its how it should be that this response to ukraine is as it is, but it is devastating for other refugees who see that their lives are somehow of less value, that we failed to recognise their humanity too.

    • @anette2050
      @anette2050 2 года назад +8

      I'm sorry, but that's not entirely the same. The Syrians only had to go to the neighboring countries to be safe, and a lot of them did. Of course a journey all the way to Europe is going to be more dangerous.
      And we did end up taking a lot of them (talking about the EU now) and they got (and still get) every support and benefit that comes with living in a European country (access to education, health care, etc.). Most of them are doing very well.
      Now, the Ukrainians are OUR neighbors, just like the Syrians were neighbors to a number of countries in the Middle East. It't not exactly our fault that they "only" have to march to Poland (and other countries) to get to safety.
      I personally volunteered with refugees in 2015, and I assure you, they WERE welcomed by most people here (I'm from Austria). To me, it makes no difference where someone comes from. I see someone in need, I help them. That's it.

      @@anette2050 im not sure years spent languishing in a refugee camp in Lebanon counts as a reasonable definition of "refuge". I dont agree that simply because of geographical proximity those conditions should be all a refugee in the middle east should hope for or be entitled to. You worjed with refugees in Austria but you know they are just a portion of the total displaced in tge syrian war. The point is that we in Europe have power and money and have been relatively hesitant to use it to help palestine , yemen, syria, the list goes on, but ukraine has a mass refugee exodus and suddenly mountains can be moved overnight to treat them with the decency and dignity and compassion they rightly deserve, but that was denied so many other refugees.

He's gone through so much already as a journalist going to war, now knowing he's got his little boys at home and seeing the look in his eyes right now, he's shell shocked. He's traumatized by what's happening around him, especially seeing him talking about those sick babies.... I know obviously he didn't carry his little ones, but that's a new father regardless. the hormones and emotions that go along with having a new little one in the home are undeniable, I know he's just filled with empathy for every mother and father and family right now. 😰😰😰😰

    Anderson is one of the bravest and finest reporters of our lifetime. Regardless of anything here in the USA, he risks life and limb to go on-location and expose truths that we, the very ignorant, removed, and sheltered American people, usually don't see. It's not that we don't want to know. It's that we don't know what we don't know. And while he is a liberal-leaning reporter, I've known Anderson all my life to approach these stories not with political motives, but a human angle where he reminds us that terrible things are happening to normal people who don't deserve to suffer for political gain.

      You are used to freedom. In a dictatorship you play a daily game called "How-not-to-get-Disappeared-Quest". If you play it right, you get to live and breathe and sometimes prosper a bit. Mostly depending on how far collapsed the economy is. To stand up to dictators means putting a lot on the line. Generally more than people are willing to commit. When protests gain momentum and the dictators cannot get everyone in line, then the relative potential price of revolt lessens and people will be more committed.
