Welcome to Radical Personal Finance, a show dedicated to providing you with the knowledge

skills, insight, and encouragement you need to live a rich and meaningful life now while

building a plan for financial freedom in 10 years or less.

My name is Joshua Sheetz, I'm your host, today on the show I want to talk about belief,

the power of believing in the possibilities of what is actually in front of you.

And thinking this morning about the war in Ukraine right now between Russia and Ukraine,

and for context today is Thursday, February 24, 2022, and in the last 12 to 18 hours, there

has been a dramatic change in the relationship between Russia and Ukraine, and the conflict

has now gone kinetic.

It's hard for me to understand fully at the moment in the fog of war what's actually happening,

but there are abundant reports of Russian attacks on Ukraine.

There's plenty of evidence of incursions of Russian tanks, troop carriers, etc. across

the border.

There's a massive breakdown in international relations.

Ukraine has closed its embassy in Moscow, cut off diplomatic relations with Russia around

the world.

Many nation states are issuing strong condemnations of the actions of Russia, etc.

And so clearly we have entered a new phase of this particular conflict.

This is something that's actually come up on radical personal finance in the past few

weeks, which I'll be talking about in a moment where we had a listener call in and said,

hey, my parents are in Ukraine, what should we do?

Should we get them out?
