Reopening the Ukrainian Question- How Does the Current American Administration Justify Inciting War?

Reader comment on item: Middle East Geopolitics
in response to reader comment: Ezekiel Chapter 39 Unfolding Before Global Audience - Who is Applauding?

Submitted by M Tovey (United States), Feb 14, 2022 at 18:17

How close does an observer need to be before finding out that too close is too late to get out of the way.
This turns out to be a great distraction from the catastrophic fiasco that is Afghanistan, now doesn't it?
But whom are we to believe: Putin and his threat to NATO's influences in the Ukraine; or demonstrating that the 46th American Administration does not support NATO for protecting the Ukrainian arena?
