heart, head, voice - Wade had it all. First met him covering Columbine - before 'school shooting' and 'mass shootings' were routine nightmares. Will miss him dearly. RIP brother Wade
Here's a lovely tribute to Wade from his longtime @npr colleague Debbie Elliot:

"If we had more time, these guys would last longer." Foreign military trainers say they may only get 3 to 5 days to train Ukrainian conscripts before they are sent to front. US Army boot camp = 10 weeks. Pressure to send soldiers to front is intense @NPR

Former service members and combat medics from other countries are in Ukraine to train civilians. They typically have just days with new conscripts before they are sent to the front.

Spokesperson for 🇷🇺 foreign affairs ministry Zakharova said: "Russia bears no obligations on the decisions of ICC Rome Statute" All war criminals think they are above any courts or justice systems. But I am sure that Putin and his people will get their Nuremberg - or the Hague.
