Here's my fear: as the US seems to be aligning with Russia, what happens if Europe comes together and sends troops to support Ukraine, does that place the US and Russia against Europe? And, is this the beginning of the road to WWIII?

I wish I could say I was shocked at the actions of the current POTUS, but he has done everything he said he'd do. So many, including the current VPOTUS, said he didn't really mean it. Well guess what, he did, and it's all about retribution.
