  1. Sharp words from President Biden are welcome because they only show resolve to find a solution to a potentially dangerous conflict over here in Europe. Before I give my comment, we wish safe travels and reporting for Ms Ward and the journalists covering the situation in Ukraine. We have an excellent opportunity here to solve this territorial dispute by diplomatic means from concerned countries from around the world. This is the big one: we can leave our children's children this date in history as the year when international disputes were handled peacefully. If I were negotiating---and I'm an artist not a diplomat---but I would say loud and clear to President Putin and others who infringe on sovereign countries and take land and property that the minute they step down from office, all confiscated property is going back to the original owners. We have a perfect example to go by: paintings stolen by the Nazis in WWII sometimes have taken 70 years to go back to the original owners. It would certainly make rogue leaders think twice about invading neighboring countries knowing that the minute they weren't on the scene, the stolen goods would have to be returned to the rightful owners. I realize my solution is far-fetched, but we've got to start somewhere and we've got to quit using tanks and bombs and machine guns and weapons of war to settle disputes among each other. It's only that I think we forget the people who pay the biggest price are the children and innocent civilians in every single conflict or war that I've ever heard about or read about. This is doable: we don't need to fire a bullet to get Putin to pack up and go home...

  2.  @GotoHere  GGGGGGGGGGreat to hear from you. I'm an artist not a diplomat, but over here in Europe there are war drums beating and we've got to try everything we can to stop the Ukrainian crisis. Your president might not always have the right words, but he's got guts. The way to stop Putin in his tracks is to say the pipeline Russia is promoting is dead on the water until Russia pulls out of all occupied territories. This is what your president has to say to stop a war happening. The question is of course, will he get the green light from his security advisors?
