Russia, a nation strongly, if not proudly, committed to be remembered as that of perennial rabid thugs hell-bent on making the lives of their neighbors as miserable as possible, has recently attacked yet another country having that dubious pleasure of being its neighbor. In the last hundred years or so, its aggression was directed (amongst others) against Japan (1904), Poland (1939), Finland (1940), Afghanistan (1979), and now against Ukraine. Every 40 years or so, the Russian imperialism raises its ugly head to meddle in the affairs of the neighbors without any invitation or sensible justification whatsoever.
New Srebrenica. The Ukrainian city of Bucha was in the hands of 🇷🇺 animals for several weeks. *Local civillians were being executed arbitrarily*, some with hands tied behind their backs, their bodies scattered in the streets of the city.#RussianWarCrimes pic.twitter.com/outzejdidO

Needless to say, the whole civilized human world and even some other brainier animals - too countless to name without risking omitting some of these noble species - have been strongly repulsed by this act of lawlessness and have united against Russia in various ways, first and foremost by supporting Ukraine's heroic fighters and by helping the millions of refugees from the invaded Ukraine that have been pouring into the neighboring countries, in the first place into Poland, the country of my birth, that shares with Ukraine the longest border of all her friendly neighbors.
Thousands of Ukrainians, mostly women and children, are arriving in Poland every day and while some move to other, mostly European, countries, many are bound to stay. See this article for more (the picture below is from it).
Sadly, everything indicates that this exodus will last for some time to come. Still, these poor folks deserve our continuous help just as the Ukraine soldiers deserve the help and respect of all of us who reject unjust violence. The only just wars - and I believe I am hardly alone in this view - are defensive wars. Any other war is morally suspect, at best. Ukraine is waging a just war, while Russia is, again, an aggressor.
It is with this folks in mind, the Ukrainian refugees in Poland, that I decided to extend my special offers for two of my main products (KING and Easy Money in Stocks) for some time to come. I have recently also lowered the price of another trading product (George Collection of trading systems).
I had earlier mentioned this on Twitter. I am now announcing it here and soon will make it even more official on my website.
Profits from the sales of these 3 items will go towards helping the refugees.
If interested in day trading e-mini futures or trading US stocks and if also interested in helping the less fortunate fleeing from the biggest war zone in Europe since the WWII, then this is one way to go about it. If not interested in trading or in this idea of mine, I would still encourage you to find some other way to help these people and their nation in its recovery from this devastating, barbaric war.
