And now the headlines are that Ukraine is in disagreement with the US on the possibility of a ruski incursion...Ukraine doesn't think it will happen. I have my suspicions on the reason the US is pushing this, and I would get suspended for stating it.
8,500 troops deployed

Defense contractors giddy
The Boys at Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, Northrup Grumman, General Dynamics, and a host of other defense contractors are drooling and about ready to light their cigars.

No body in the media is bringing up history i.e. Stalin in 1932-22 starved over 3 mil Ukraine citizens to death. Why would they want to be controlled by Russia again. The Ukraine citizens have been bounced around for centuries under control of different countries i.e. Austria-Hungary, Czech, Poland other countirs that don't exist anymore or can't pronouce the name. Let them be independent and straighten out their corrupt government. It's a beautiful country
History is repeating itself again i.e. 1936 German Olympics/2022 Beijing Olympics.
What was the reason that the U.N. was created????? Isn't this supposed to be their job????
We should pull out of UN and use the money to feed our wounded vets.

As a side effect of a lot of military plane traffic, surprise surprise the Army is scrambling to find a ride to send troops to the Philippines, Guam, Thailand for annual exercises. I am pissed, after 12 years in the SWA deserts, they wouldn't let me volunteer to go to the Gobi desert to assist the Mongolian Army and US Army. Fixing computers around the world!!

As a child of the Cold War, I doubt Putin considers Ukraine an independent country. Anybody remember the 13th province, AKA Kuwait?

Well, looks like we may have found the path to fix the economy after all.

So there isn't enough left in Russia for Putin and his cronies to loot? Is he serious about rebuilding the old empire? I doubt it. He's just another old mafioso trying not to get whacked. I doubt there's an invasion coming. It's a show for domestic consumption imho.

Especially after Afghanistan, I'm not optimistic. I would like to hear an explanation of how we have ANY strategic interests there.

We will send to Ukraine the exact same number of US troops that we did when they had the regions of Donbass and Crimea stolen from them at the cost of 14,000 Ukrainian lives. Zero.

If that's the answer, it must have been a really dumb question.

History has shown nothing stimulates the US economy and distracts the public as fast as a little sabre rattling.
