There is no way for any of us to know what exact precursors led to the war in Ukraine.
We are all looking at the surface of the ocean and trying to assess what is happening 500 feet below.

There are traces of things that come within our view such as Joe Biden being put in charge of Ukraine and being videotaped bragging about arm-twisting and ousting someone who got in his way. Although the arrogance was telling, that is just one bit of information.

FWIW2U
The only thing that I can suggest is to tell anyone willing to listen...that you do not want to see the United States in a war with Russia fighting over the most corrupt country in Europe.

Could it escalate into a European war that ultimately sucked us in?
Maybe, but let's make them prove it to us.
