    Anyone who still thinks Trump is to blame just isn’t paying attention.

    These strikes would’ve happened no matter who the president was it’s a geopolitical inevitability.

    And yes, it’s becoming increasingly clear that Ukraine is in serious trouble now.

        They’ll be next — just not immediately. Over the next couple of years, Ukraine will likely be partitioned, and as the war with Iran de-escalates, a new conflict will be needed to fill the vacuum. That’s how the cycle tends to work.

      I’m waiting to see if Trump/pentagon escalates or does their strike package and goes home.

      I doubt this is going to lead to some sort of ground invasion. Biden would have done the exact same although maybe more clandestine.
