  " World War III: What is going on with Russia and Ukraine "

A little overview :  
The Russian Federation and Ukraine are at war right now: the Russo-Ukrainian War broke out in 2014 when Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine across a broad front in February 2022. (Crimea is a peninsula in Ukraine it is between the Sea of Azov and the Black sea)

What is happening?
After President Vladimir Putin authorized the strikes, Russian forces fired numerous missiles at several Ukrainian cities and landed troops on the country's south coast early Thursday morning. Putin defied widespread outrage and sanctions (punishments), warning that any attempt to intervene would result in "consequences you have never seen," and now explosions have been heard in Kyiv, Kharkiv, and Odesa, as world leaders have seen the start of a Russian invasion that could result in massive casualties and overthrow Ukraine's democratically elected government.

Why is Putin doing all of this?
As Biden has stated this is an "unprovoked and unjustified attack". Meaning Putin's attacks have no solid reasoning behind them. All of Putin's plans were mainly based on the idea that he wants to demilitarize Ukraine. His plan is not to "occupy" Ukraine, but to make them completely defenseless. 

What are the sanctions currently being put on for Russia?
The sanctions are getting worse but as of now Biden has put U.S. punishments, 
* Travel restrictions on key Russian citizens close to President Putin and involved in the invasion of Crimea
* Ban on providing technologies for oil and gas development
* Ban on providing credits to Russian oil corporations and state banks

When did this war originally start?
This Russo-Ukrainian War is a long-running conflict between Russia, Belarus, and pro-Russian forces on the one hand, and Ukraine on the other. In the aftermath of Euromaidan, armed conflict erupted in February 2014, centered on the status of Crimea and sections of the Donbas, which are internationally recognized as part of Ukraine.

What is Euromaidan?
Euromaidan was a wave of protests and civil unrest in Ukraine that commenced on the evening of November 21, 2013, with public rallies at Kyiv's Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square).

I pray for the citizens in Ukraine and the innocent people of Russia as this is all Putin's plan, blaming Russia as a whole is unfair to those innocent. Stay safe and stay educated.

If you don't know what is going on this is for you, This post is going to be about:                                          The Willow Project.                                                  what is it and why is it horrible    What is the Willow Project? The willow project takes place in Alaska, and it is a very controversial topic. The idea is that ConocoPhillips' (an American corporation in the oil business) wants to do a massive Willow Oil drill on the North Slope in the National Petroleum Reserve, which is owned by the Federal Government (this idea was proposed originally in 2020 and approved by the Trump administration). This plan aims to hold almost 600 million barrels of oil. These tonnes of oil wouldn't even reach the market for a couple more years, as the project hasn't even been created; meaning that this part of Alaska, home to wildlife and ecosystems, would be holding millions of barrels of oil without any necessary financial aid for years later.

 If you don't know what is going on this is for you: This post is going to be about :        " The abortion bans put out into the world "                                      women losing control of their body's choices.  What is going on? Well, there are legislations being passed in Oklahoma, it is one of the most restrictive ones set yet. They are punishing those who get an abortion with up to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $100,000. Whereas rapists only have a 5-year sentence. This means doctors and women face a longer period of time in jail or a harsher consequence than the rapist that put them into that situation. This law only makes the exception if the woman is in danger, but rape or incest is not a valid excuse for abortion.  What makes the idea of "pro-life" to this extent horrible? Abortion is a constitutional right, and the fact that the punishment for this is much more grave than that of rape or incest is what makes this situation horrible

Affordability of health care

 If you don't know what is going on this is for you : This post is going to be about :                     " The true affordability of good health care " What is altering the ability of affording good health care? There are many aspects as to what causes the inability to have acess to good health care.  A major injury or a health issue that necessitates emergency care and/or an expensive treatment plan without health insurance coverage can result in poor credit or even bankruptcy. But being able to afford health care in countries that do not offer it for free is extremly difficult. In America 1 in 5 American's cannot afford nesessary care. With a survey done by  MedCityNews , shows that 46 million Americans (which makes up about 1/5th of Americans) cannot afford health care. Which therefore leads to them cutting off other necessary human needs to pay for it, and yet, years after still are in debt.  Further into pricing of health care and how the affects citizens:  Hea
