Weak. 

Gotta love the pundits Talking up this cop out like it’s something amazing. 

America is supposed to be the international policeman. Walking softly but carrying a big stick to use when necessary. 

Instead of defending freedom, we stand by and watch it crushed while shaking dollar signs the the bad guys with missiles. 

Putin has China as an ally and Russia counterfeits American goods anyway. This isn’t going to do squat unfortunately. 

Sanctions suck. Go and do some good in the world. Add the sanctions to that. 

You let a bully beat up other kids and he just gets worse. Not looking good. 

God help Ukraine. 

Ukraine had 20 years before Putin to get their corrupt selves together they didn’t, see Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania for a lesson on how it’s done….They thought they were special….

I'll repost this;

To the surprise of everyone in Moscow, Kyiv, Brussels, and Washington, Yanukovych’s decision to scuttle this agreement with the EU triggered mass demonstrations in Ukraine again, bringing hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians into the streets in what would become known as the Euromaidan or “Revolution of Dignity” to protest Yanukovych’s turn away from the democratic West. The street protests lasted several weeks, punctuated by the killing of dozens of peaceful protestors by Yanukovych’s government, the eventual collapse of that government and Yanukovych’s flight to Russia in February 2014, and a new pro-Western government taking power in Kyiv. Putin had “lost” Ukraine for the second time in a decade.

Yeah, having that shot at democracy in 2014 hasn't worked out perfectly, but it is evident that Ukraine wants to succeed. Putin can't allow that, hence, the invasion.

Putin has succeeded in further dividing the US and helping diminish us as a beacon for democracy, so he is attempting to use this moment in time to make his move.

What's so strong about LumaFusion is that it's a complete, multi-track video editor. You can drag multiple video clips atop each other,

Read on AppleInsider

I don;t know what that means:  it sounds like overlaying one clip with another.  I've linked multiple clips together and interwoven them -- but "a top" one another?

As an aside:  my 8th grade grandson spent a multi-week segment of his computer class learning how write, plan, structure, organize, shoot and ultimately edit a tutorial video.   His teacher required that the tutorial contained multiple scenes and multiple shots (panning,etc.) of each scene -- then the shots & scenes had to be assembled  into a cohesive whole using clips/iMovie -- which worked very, very well.  The only points he lost on the assignment were for the poor photography because his photographer (me!) sucked at it.

It's an example of where schools are going with this.  Very admirable!
