going to fight if he tries to go beyond Ukraine.

It occurs to me that Biden has said that we will not send ground troops into Ukraine. But, Biden has not said that we wouldn't use drones or missiles from outside Ukraine. Is this why Biden and other NATO nations have told our people to leave? We don't want to hit our own in drone and missile attacks?

But we might hit Ukrainian citizens accidentally. I would be very anxious if I were a Ukrainian right now sandwiched between two armies. They are brave and deserve all the help we can give, but if fighting does break out, they could be damaged from both sides, one intentionally, and one accidentally.

Given the RW extremist infiltration of US military and their worship of Putin, I hope our military in the region are vetted on their loyalties.

Too much to hope, I guess, that Putie would visit the front and be greeted by a drone.
