Russian-Ukrainian War of 2022

 

Like everyone else on the planet, I have been watching the Russian invasion of Ukraine.  Funny how COVID suddenly vanished.  Nonetheless, the war in Eastern Europe has grabbed center stage.

Russia's invasion has not exactly gone to plan, though they still have the upper hand.  It seems Moscow had decided to surround and pound Kiev (or Kyiv I have been seeing lately) into submission.  There are talks between the two nations and I hear talk of "positiveness".  Well, the shooting has not stopped.

Maybe it will.

I cannot see this ending without some sort of guarantee of Ukrainian neutrality.  NATO is not going to let Ukraine in anyway (too corrupt, too unstable), so take the neutral approach.  I am sure the Crimea and the eastern separatists will remain a problem, but neutrality stops the war.

Over here, the Republican party is stuck in 1985.  

A no-fly zone puts us in direct conflict with a nuclear armed superpower.  As much as a house plant Biden is, at least he has said "NO" to that lunatic idea.

Remember one thing about Congress.  Everytime they have authorized military action, you never see them going into the warzone.

Remember that. 

No to war.

Let the bloodthirsty 80 year olds in Congress strap on some armor and mount up.

At least it would be entertaining.
