What are your thoughts on the increasing tension between Russia and Ukraine? With the sad news today that a civilian passenger plane, with 280 lives aboard, was apparently shot down by a missile it will only be getting worse.
 
Well, that's a big thing, my opinion, with this idiot as a president, I think let this thing run its course. If everything results to all out war, we should step up, Russia could think of it as an act of war, thus ending USA. Russia is too big in its current state of military power.

Commercial satellite imagery shows the same, according to a British security source with detailed knowledge of UK intelligence estimates. One image that British intelligence has analyzed, dated Tuesday, shows 15 heavy trucks, at least seven armored vehicles and at least nine artillery positions.

Russia is now accusing Ukraine of using drones to "attack" the Kremlin in an "assassination attempt of Putin"!

Kremlin drone: Zelensky denies Ukraine attacked Putin or Moscow

"We don't attack Putin or Moscow. We fight on on our territory," the Ukrainain leader says.

The pyrotechnics look like they are from the old Flash Gordon serials! 😆 Guess they wanted to do a big enough flash-bang to get it on video but not do any damage to the building.
