Ukraine: Things Get Real

After all the waiting, Vladimir Putin has finally kicked things off by recognising parts of eastern Ukraine as independent and sent in Russian troops as 'peacekeepers.'

What we now wait for is the NATO and EU response. Economic sanctions by member countries won't mean a lot. Russia will still sell its oil and gas, and Germany will lap it up. They now depend on Russian supplies.

I just hope the US doesn't go anywhere near the conflict. After Afghanistan, they don't need another humiliating defeat. The Russian empire ebbs and flows, this is just another phase. Best to not get involved, Russia has been the graveyard for many adventurers.

But if the US do go in with boots on the ground, all those who voted for Biden should volunteer their children. They wanted a warmonger for president, they should ante up.
