I dont trust our media, or politicians at all, and everyone has their own side of a story, but Ukraine did not provoke Russia, and they did not deserve what is going on. Putin seems to have problems with wanting the USSR back before he dies, and that wont happen unless he starts over taking these countries. Europe needs to lead this fight, if they jump in to rescue Ukraine, then we should be there to back Europe, whether that be by air, or sea, but not by ground. Let Europe supply the boots for the ground work.
I still think China and North Korea is just waiting for us to be distracted by this, and join in, then they would try to take us from a different angle. I think China and Russia have planned this out for some time.
