    Silly us. We made a few wrong turns, and now here we are in Ukraine. I guess this place is as good as any to test all these shiny new weapons.

      First off, US forces are not in Ukraine. Besides that, characterizing the invasion of Ukraine as the result of US actions rather than the reality that Russia’s actions are the sole cause aligns with the Kremlin’s BS talking points. The reality is Russia is pissy because their ex wants to see other people. Ukraine has every right to associate with whomever they want as a sovereign nation.

      Edit: think I whooshed myself. Apologies!

    Some 90,000 troops.

    Approx. 200K + would have been more proportionate. Still, it’s a positive action.
