    No reason for NATO to get involved.

    At least for right now...

    Seems like a possibility but we are positioning troops against this possibility. Putin will have NATO up his ass for anything else. Right now he is over committed his troops to one area, it takes awhile to make a move.

    So Ukraine gave up their nukes in the 90s. Anyone thinking they are regretting this decision. What does this do for everyother nuclear state who claims they need them for self defense, and we all say, "no you don't we got your back". Iran, NK, Pakistan and going to beef things up quickly along with any state considering it.

    You serious? This is exactly when they need to get involved. A first world country is literally getting invaded by Russia.

    I agree that it sucks but you have to weigh options with consequences. Ukraine isn't in NATO and no one wants London and Paris turned into parking lots

    You can't let bullies do this, it just empowers them to know you won't respond in kind. I don't really care if Ukraine is not a NATO member.

    Maybe, seems they have backed off their support for Russia. They are pretty reliant on western money markets, which hopefully keeps them in check

    Right now, as I type, there is most like at least one person dying in Ukraine for each letter that I type.

    I think we need to worry about cyber attacks here in the US. Shit could go dark for us and all sort of other potential mischief

    Yeah, but like you said earlier nobody wants London or Paris to be turned into parking lots. Nobody wants Tokyo, Hawaii or Los Angeles to be turned into a parking lot.

    These truckers are responding to Russian propaganda, they are basically Russian assets at this point. Putin doesn't even need to provoke a war with NATO, the US will chop off it's own head at this rate.
