This is the Open Comment for the fighting in Ukraine.
While we're here can we discuss a few things? I know how this usually goes but let's concentrate on the following...
1. The cause of the war. What was the actual spark that kicked this off or was it simply pre-planned. Quite honestly due to how news is covered in the US, the background issues on this thing has missed me...and I consider myself fairly well informed.
2. Performance of the Russian military.
3. Performance of the Ukrainian military.
4. The concept of deterrence against a peer/near peer foe.
5. Analyze leadership of all countries involved - From the US to Russia, France, Poland, UK, NATO, China etc...
6. Has the UN outlived its usefulness? It has yet to "prevent" any war launched by a major power, is by all appearances a money exchanging bureaucracy that can't even pass out assistance to poor countries and is a bloated entity that has no visible purpose in the modern age.
7. Is this action an indication that I was right? That the US is overstretched? Many nations are yelling for American boots on the ground but if we had them in Ukraine and US troops had been killed/injured in the assault are we sure that even then we would have gone to war?
8. Is it time to do a complete review of our theory of war, foreign policy etc...
9. What will the economic fallout of this action?
