I suppose Ukraine would be in deep shit if the rest of NATO couldn't make up for what we're sending. We might have war protests going on about now.

The next two election cycles will be the most important elections in American and world history. The most important was 2016, but we are beyond that now.

Bush the Dumber and his cadre of thugs and thieves treated re-election in 2004 as utter and complete vindication for the crimes of their first term. Re-election in 2020 would have been treated by the former guy as validation of every boast, every brag, every empty promise, every crime of his first term.

I believe this invasion has been planned for a long time, as most war plans are.

After a couple years of eroding America's allegiance in NATO and developing a stronger relationship with Russia and conditioning Americans to see Ukraine as a rogue country, there was just one more piece that had to be in place. That final part of the plan was to have DJT in a Russia friendly White House at the time of invasion.

When Trump demanded NATO countries pay more he knew they wouldn't and he'd have an excuse to withdraw before the invasion, setting the stage for Putin and Trump to take Ukraine in a week's time. It hasn't worked out that way.

I would have put a bullet in my brain. Just living through this is almost too much to bear, the alternative would have been
such a frightening place to be.
I have watched this for years and at 70 years old all I can say is, ENOUGH!
