Lack of Ukraine awareness by American citizens is shocking

Dear Editor

I am writing this in a state of shock as to what was stated to me by AMERICAN CITIZENS. I had two persons who are American citizens come to work on the horses. As we spoke of the events happening in the Ukraine, these two American citizens PRAISED President Putin and Russia for attacking the country of Ukraine. They state that Putin was taking out the mafia and those people doing drug and child trafficking. I asked how about the bombing and killing of women and children. They commented that was from the main stream news and was all FAKE news. That the pictures being shown were from World War II.

It has been reported that in Russia the news of this war is as to what Putin states, not the truth as to what is taking place. I asked these two persons where they heard this news as to what Putin is doing. These two American citizens do not listen to the FAKE news on mainstream, but only to podcasts "where the truth is spoken." The United States is a country of freedom of speech, but when it comes to FAKE news on these podcasts and how it makes citizens believe in something other than the real truth, I have to question why it is allowed to be broadcast nationally.

Judge Judy on her show stated, "We are given two eyes, two ears and one mouth for a reason." As I take this to mean, our eyes and ears are inputs and out mouth an output to the main terminal - the brain. When the inputs place in stupid and wrong information to the main terminal, the wiring shorts out and confusion as to the right and wrong takes place.

These two American citizens state that what we are shown on the news was back in World War II. Well, if you input what is seen on the mainstream news, you will see people in clothes of today, people using cell phones and the cars bombed are late model cars. Not in the time frame of World War II.

Believing as to what is reported on the mainstream news as all FAKE news comes from one source. This once source has caused so much harm to our country and its citizens.

I ask the American citizens to open their inputs more and let their main terminal digest what they see and hear and use their output less. Have a caring heart as to what is taking place to the people of Ukraine. How would you feel if it was happening here? Which I feel may happen if Putin is allowed to continue. World War III will be in our time if this war is allowed to continue and someone does not stand up to Putin. I hope that what President Biden is doing financially will be enough to stop President Putin. I feel Putin does not care and will continue until he gets what he wants, which may be the all out war. Putin is worse than Hitler ever was.
