The build up of Russian military reminds me of when we were massing to invade Iraq. War is coming.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. UchtdorfComment

Ukraine is probably completely screwed as a country in its current form. Russia can easily carve away the eastern 3rd of the country. And probably with a fair amount of local support.
I don't want the US or Nato involved in this other than arms sales and consultation. Under no circumstances should US troops be on the ground. But given Biden's history of war mongering and his poor numbers, the US probably gets dragged in at least partly.Comment

I agree with no troops the the ground. But at least this president won't be actively trying to help Russia by spilling intelligence to Putin as the previous one would have done.Originally posted by USUC View PostComment

I just don't think Putin is satisfied with taking the Eastern third of Ukraine. He wants it all.Comment

His problem is that the western half of the country are Ukrainian nationalists and hate Russia. It would be unmanageable for him. I don't think he would be that dumb.Originally posted by Bo Diddley View PostComment

Must have had that same teacher in 5th grade. Lots of those slide shows about Bad Russia and communism. He was correct.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

It's certainly true, his decision to withdraw from Afghanistan notwithstanding.Originally posted by myboynoah View Post
I'll admit the term is "freshman in college" level of maturity. But presidents since 2000 have been all to eager for active military conflict.

I remember some girl in my 6th grade class asking the teacher why the Russians hate us and want to kill us. His response was that there was probably a 6th grader in Russia asking her teacher why the United States hates Russia and wants to kill them.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

I vaguely remember having nuclear bomb drills when I was in 1st grade. I'm sure it created more anxiety than it was worth. Why were we doing drills in a farming community in Utah?Comment

I don't remember any drills or talk in school about nukes.Comment
