This is a present to all of us who are conscious of ‘being’. And alive! Not fearing a concealed mine as we or our child step into a field. Not having to live with the threat of drone strikes and bombs when s plane happens to fly over where we live.
Happy Birthday 🎈 Tim, especially to you, and every one who can donate or would like to.
Happy birthday! Thank you for your thoughtfulness in creating these opportunities to support the people of Ukraine in keeping them safe. 🙏🏽 A bigger perspective would be, why aren't we doing these kinds of actions in other countries that are under assault? Why is no one expanding this model for those countries?
Happy Birthday Timothy. Thank you for bringing such a worthy cause to our attention. I will be contributing $55 to the cause in honor of your birthday.
The US government often does, but can only do so after the funding has been approved by Congress and signed by the President - something that takes time and horse-trading. Efforts like this try to bridge the gap.
Thank you and Happy Birthday, Prof Snyder. You have contributed so much through your lifetime's work and your commitment to real people.
I support de-mining. Thank you for making more public this effort. We can donate, and we can advocate for both de-mining by the US, and we can advocate for elimination of use of mines through international agreement and law.
Wishing you a full and fortunate lifetime of living.
Ukrainian farmer Oleksandr Kryvtsov is using a remote-controlled tractor, made with protective panels stripped from damaged Russian military vehicles, to remove mines left in his fields after Moscow's invasion.
Happy Birthday! I am so grateful for you and your knowledge of the history of Ukraine and Russia. I've learned so much from you (having listened to your free Yale lectures on this subject) and am delighted to make a contribution (wish it could be more) to this extremely worthy cause. I had no idea that this brilliant technology exists.

Happy birthday. I kicked in a donation. I wanted to do more but I’ve been giving my extra money to down ballot blue candidates.
Thanks for the gentle push.
Why doesn’t the US military provide this money for these worthy projects?

Well said, Mary.
Do you have an example of a worthy improvised project like this that the government has funded?
Not off the top of my head. But if you go back and look, you'll find a fairly common progression from impossible to do-able.
direct donation is "here and now".
Many happy returns Professor Snyder! Thank you for your continued intellectual, moral and practical leadership. Small donation made. Best wishes…
