timing is everything

I continue to be amazed and dumbfounded as to what exactly the US is doing in Ukraine. The situation that was a non issue just two months ago has now escalated to a point where there is a real possibility that the US and Russia might somehow end up in a direct military conflict over an irrelevant nation (no offense to Ukraine) that is over 6,000 miles away from an American shore. WTF?

Also note, the EU has backed away to sit quietly in the corner as the US and Russia get closer to tearing Ukraine into little pieces. Should there be a direct conflict with Russia, the EU economy will collapse in short order without Russia’s natural gas. Now, let’s take democracy, freedom, rainbows and unicorns for the Ukrainian people BS off the table. Here are the real drives behind Ukraine and all of them lead back to the White House, not Kremlin.

The Obama Administration is desperate to get back at Putin after Putin played Obama like a cheap flute in regards to both Syria and Iran.
With wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are now over, the US Industrial Military Complex needs a new enemy. The bigger the better.
NATO expansion and warmongers in Washington need something to do.

Anyway, here is the latest and what you need to know as we get closer to war.
