I wrote this article during Obama's reign of terror in 2014. This article still holds water to this day as Biden gets ready to start a war with Russia. Everyone needs to read this.

The dispute between Russia and the Ukraine goes back hundreds of years.... with Russia laying claims of soverignty over the Ukraine and Ukraine proclaiming to be a soverign. This is a civil war. The Ukraine was a satellite state in the USSR... the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics... Just as states like Texas are members of the United States of America... a constitutional republic.
A similar situation could exist between the Federal Governmetn and say Texas if it decided to separate from the Union... Claiming it has both a soverign right to be an independent nation-state and an agreed status permitting the state to leave the Union at will. We need to stay out of the Ukraine and let Russia and the Ukraine find a political solution for their problems.
Your comparison between Soviet rule over the Ukraine and Texas belonging to the US Union are ridiculous! Texas is a free state part of a union, Ukrain was a slave state under the Soviet iron fist. The Soviets murdered, starved 7 million Ukrainians not so long ago. They aren't even in the same universe, and as a military man you should be very aware of the difference! The Soviets controlled the Ukrain as they controlled my birthland of Hungary and many other unfortunate countries. Not one went willingly, we were the sacrifice for your freedom......because four years was enough and everyone was ready to go home. Churchill, Stalin, and Roosevelt made the decision to sacrifice all those countries and send their people into slavery, allowing Stalin to do with them as he please....so the west can rebuild, grow, enjoy freedom. With your crazy reasoning America should still own slaves.....after all we did once! Just an ignorant, stupid comment old man!
As usual, you exaggerate my position... Texas by the way is a unique state... it retained its soverign status as an independent republic when joining the Union. If it were to choose to leave the Union the situation could easily devolve into a similar conflict now raging in the Ukraine as the Federal Government in DC lays claim to Texas and the Texas state government ignores their claims as unlawful and bogus.
The. Ukraine was part of Russia prior to WW1 going back as far as the 1300's... and over the last hundred years, it was annexed and reannexed by various Russian governments... Ukraine has deep roots and ties to Russia. The conflict there is more akin to a civil war than a war of aggression. Russia's basis for its intervention is directly tied to historic claims of sovereignty over Ukraine. The situation is a political mess. America needs to stay out of this conflict.
It was just announced he IS sending troups to the Ukrain, and Russia is sending a lot of blood to the border. Not a good sign!
we don't need to get physically involved in this, not our responsibility.
