It's getting very serious...part of me thinks Russia will wait until after the olympic games in China. We'll see. I don't think US troops should get involved at all. The last two world wars started right there in Eastern Europe....Ukraine: UK withdrawing some embassy staff from Kyiv

Oh that's a good idea, send $200 million in bait to invite the Russians to come in so they can get examples of whatever we sent over there.
It's a no win scenario, if we don't send our best, Ukraine has no hope, but if we do, Russia will likely get examples of them anyways.

Why do I keep thinking of Afghanistan when I hear of us sending troops to Ukraine? I have zero confidence in Biden's ability to command our troops.

Putin knows we are not militarily ready with the current regime in charge. He is clear to go scorched earth on Ukraine, and who is going to stop him?
And they've got plenty of equipment now.

President Boss - "Today, I have put the 82d and 173d (Italy) Airborne Divisions on alert. This means their equipment is being loaded onto C-17s in preparation to quickly deploy. If Russian military forces invade Ukraine, we will respond quickly. I'm warning you right now Putin. We will kick your damn ass."

US working with allies to shore up energy supplies if Russia invades Ukraine
The Biden administration is making contingency plans to shore up Europe's energy supplies should a Russian invasion of Ukraine create gas shortages and roil the global economy, senior administration officials said on Tuesday.
www.cnn.com
From the article....War between Russia and Ukraine could significantly affect global energy markets. Russia is the second biggest oil producer in the world, behind only the United States. Russia also exports a large amount of natural gas to Europe through Ukraine, and those exports would likely be severely disrupted by a war and damage to critical energy infrastructure.
Further from the article ....The US has made clear it is prepared to impose crushing economic sanctions on Russia and effectively cut Russia off from the Western economy in the event of an invasion.
I'm not a big fan of CNN, but this article leaves me wondering if this could lead to something much greater than a rise in the price of oil and gas ... This could lead to an all out war in all of Europe...
