both Russia and Ukraine should be told about their crisis because they're clueless about it and don't even know its happening..

[mattdew]

A diplomatic end to something that was never going to happen.

[lnc]

Careful Putin, Gen. Miley Vanily gonna accuse you of some of that white rage he's been wanting to learn about.

[wesleytrout]

Everyone but the US is already talking the situation out calmly. This is pure gaslighting.

[Theandy]

you'd almost think people want war?

[botz]

I don't want 'hope' to be our national security plan.

[Foxtucky]

Can't secure our boarder but gonna try half way Around the world... LET'S GO BRANDON!!

[Kraang]

For some reason I don't buy that our officials want a diplomatic resolution to this, just a hunch.

[davidvincent]

Today if a soldier breaks a finger nail, he is out of action for a week...

[walter]

Our military runs on hope? What a fail in just one year!

[petes]

U.S. military officials know how devastating a conventional non nuclear war with Russia would be. Mass casualties on all sides with no winners. It's not a war that can be won.

[monteyoung]

Shouldn't military officials have more than hope? This regime is pathetic!

[browaruspierogus]

I'd worry more about what's coming to US

[jojjojo]

DEMS: "We must protect Ukraines border and country! REEEE!"

Also DEMS: " We must destroy America's border and country! REEE!"

[randomeyes]

Because the military did such a wonderful job in Afghanistan. 💩🌋

[aberration]

It’s not about the Ukraine it’s about European NATO countries extending to close to Russian border. Do you want Russian troops in Mexico?

[diastoleny]

Theres more media coverage and concern for foreign borders than there is for our own borders.

Does anyone really care about the Russia-Ukraine "crisis"? This feels very much like a deliberate distraction from everything happening in our country right now.
