    So if Putin taket over Donetsk and Luhansk will it be enough or will he continue for the whole country of Ukraine?
    Maybe he has plans to take over the Baltic countries again ? Will he start a world war?

    After his speech yesterday you would imagine there would be some concern in the former USSR states

    Right,  that speech could be directed towards any country that was part of the block.

    Why hasn’t Putin retired yet? It seems like he some kind of vampire that lives on forever.

    100%.  No way this was going to happen with the Olympics going on.  Xi made that very clear, I imagine.  They did not want to distract from their showcase (even though the whole thing was a debacle, ironically thanks to the ROC).

    kinda liked having to seek it out instead of being bombarded with it. didnt turn it on once.

    I'm not entirely sure what is meant by this comment. 
    After pulling out of Afghanistan our defense sector is a little adrift. Hopefully the sanctions work.  If not I see the machine trying to whip up the usual patriotic freedom talk fervor until we get to an acceptable level of public opinion to get our armed forces involved and get that defense cash machine cranking back up.

    Those wanting war with Ukraine will not join or send their kids…because people who want to sacrifice others are cowards.

    but this isn't the US inventing a conflict to further their own agenda. this is all russia. should the world just stand idly by and let putin do whatever he wants?

    from letter from an american
     "Putin and his fellow oligarchs have amassed power thanks to the financial laxness of western democracies, which their money has helped to destabilize. With Putin’s attack on the international rule of law today, challenging western nations to stop him, Edward Luce of the Financial Times identified the larger picture: “Cannot be stated strongly enough,” he wrote. “If the west—chiefly America, but also Britain—doesn't burn its financial ties to Russia's oligarchy then Putin will prevail. This means taking on Wall Street, the City, law firms[,] realtors, the prep schools and western laundering outfits.”"

    This is one of the reasons I don't think anything will happen.  Regarding your question, should we stand Idly by?  I don't know, which action will cause more longterm worldwide harm for the greater part of humanity?  I wish I was a fortune teller.
