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. Uchtdorf

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.

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

I'm still loling about the reference above to the war-mongerer Biden.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
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."

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.
