This is a battle between NATO and Russia. They want to own arable land, not wasted prairies. They fight to keep NATO off of their borders, and WE were the aggressors. Would it surprise anyone that in Ukraine we have lost Americans?
The paper tiger is the US, we still have no control over Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Libya or Sudan. We spend our money, so Israel can build a bigger border it seems.
At least you got your screen name right.
