As of 6 hours ago Mo Creek tweeted he was still in Ukraine where he’s been playing professionally. Prayers up that he makes it out safe and sound.

Yes prayers up for Mo and every other American citizen who has been left to fend for themselves like Afghanistan. Shameful. The Administration warned people to leave but then provided no assistance. Many Americans trapped according to recent reports. If Americans are killed, this Administration will have bigger problems on its hands than it already does.

Rising, probably not the right time to be making a political statement about this.

If now is not the right time, when would that time be? After American lives are lost? After Mo is (God forbid) harmed?

GWRising, maybe there isn't a right time at all to politicize this.  Maybe Americans living in Ukraine have known for many, many months that this week's attacks were more than a distinct possibility (Biden did meet with Putin about this in June) and should have made arrangements on their own to leave Ukraine well before this week.  I realize everyone's circumstance is different and this would have been easier said than done for many.  Nevertheless, the notion of these attacks murdering and injuring vast numbers of innocent people, the idea of a dictator making decisions that the majority within his own country are opposed to, the possibility that this could escalate into something far worse than it already is, leads me to say that Americans pointing fingers at other Americans is not a good look right now. 

May be from earlier so things could have changed , but WJLA  Ch.7 just had a segment on Mo on the 6'oclock news tonight.
He was calm, but did say he was "terrified" and his mother "is crying everyday, my father is worried sick and my brothers are calling me nonstop."
    Sports anchor Scott Abraham said that Mo told him that upper management of his team basically bailed on him and the players.
    When the report was filmed, Mo said he was splitting his time between his apartment and a bomb shelter.
Indiana fans seem very concerned and involved and some have contacted a private group, Project Dynamo, to try and help him get out.
     Anyway, with the caveat of other reports here and this is a rapidly moving situation, Mo's story is on 
WJLA.com/sports. Currently the lead story. They said they posted a longer version there. Haven't looked at it because I wanted to get this out to everyone interested.
  Let's keep Mo in our thoughts in this difficult situation.


 

Hope he gets out OK and quickly. Wasn´t there a time when GW grads made up a big part of the Ukranian government (before the current clown in charge got elected)? Good to know folks at Indiana still care, just hope their money actually goes to getting him out.

Not out yet

Mo Creek @Mo_Creek·1h
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WOULD BE GETTING OUT UKRAINE TODAY… THE SIRENS GO OFF 😡😡😡

clown?

Zelensky is a cornered President and Biden offered him evacuation.  Zelensky replied to (insert clown reference) and said "I need ammunition, not a ride."  Certainly a leader going down with the ship.

The latest on Mo
