It is as much a civil war as not one. They were all part of the Soviet Union for something like 70 years and a significant number of citizens are Russian, etc. Some of the areas in question are Russian-majority.

Anyway, I think this is an internal matter for Russia and Ukraine to resolve, none of our business, definitely not worth a penny or any of our resources. Yes, I know we've apparently stirred it up to hurt Russia, to distract from US homeland issues, etc. But it is wrong.

Everything was part of everything, at one time over the last 3000 years in Europe. Since like the Soviet empire is as dead as the Holy Roman Empire, I am not going with civil war, but that’s my perspective. Conflict usually takes two, I agree that the US provoked a lot of this. Yet, Putin didn’t have to take the bait. Putin invaded for money, everything else really doesn’t make sense. Putin will not bring safety or security by invading his neighbors. Like you, I don’t want to embroiled in foreign conflicts. Unfortunately, the left in this nation has enabled our NATO Companions to divert to ‘social programs’ so that they are unable to defend themselves. Once again, Trump called out the problem with the diversion of defense resources and the reliance on foreign petroleum. This is really a European problem, and mostly a EU, and certainly a GERMANY induced problem. IF, Germany had done what it was supposed to do, by its NATO treaty and common sense, these people would not be dying in Ukrainian conflict IMHO.
