"I thought this wasnt a war."

No, it's just a rumor of war.

That’s actually the first thing I thought.
Maybe the falling currency will push Russia to full on war.

I wonder how the falling oil prices will impact this situation. Ya know since the Russian economy is built on oil.

I wouldn’t place a bet on that.Who’s going to stop Russia if they continue an invasion?NATO.

NATO did nothing when Russia attacked Geogia Preemptively.

I think Putin is going for the whole ball of wax and Russia desperately needs Ukraine.

I think it could go either way. Problem is Putin seems so unstable you can’t tell what he’ll do next.

I know if he pushes there will be no coordnated push back, unless he does something really stupid.
