Russia and the Ukraine...What do you think?
This isn't politics unless you live in Russia, or the Ukraine.

shareI kind of thought we were done with this type of action.. I want it, I take it. I do think this is last of a dying breed.
shareI'd always hoped the world would avoid yet another senseless war. Unfortunately, we still have dictators who think that no matter how much land they rule, it's never enough.
shareI think Putin is close to dying and wants a legacy. This won't end well for him.

He's 69 - I know there are rumors about his health, but he looked OK to me at the Olympics.
shareIt's just something I was reading, he wants a legacy which is an Empire as per the old USSR. I don't think he will die anytime soon either but I do believe there is something to him wanting a resurgence of the USSR.

From a practical standpoint: The West just got defeated in Afghanistan, and we've barely regain our bearings since pulling out of Kandahar. We're not in shape to fight Russia now
I'm worried for my family in Ukraine.
shareWow, I don't blame you! I watched several media clips today of how the civilians are trying to cope; very sad.
shareI'm sorry to hear this. I also worry about everyone in Ukraine. They didn't want this. Scary times.
shareLet’s hope they get through this ok.
shareThis is the first time I've been scared in a long time. We have a superpower taking what it wants. If the US wanted it could take mexico or canada. We just don't do that anymore..
shareSame here. I worry that Putin won't stop there. There might even be other dictators who would like to do the same thing. "I want it, so I'll just invade and take it."
shareWe haven't been doing that lately... is a better way to put it. This is a very much a return to norm.
shareBeing objective the US have invaded/bombed a number of countries..
shareThe US just recently took Afghanistan, installed a dummy president and then left them to die, remember?
