Europe wants to drag the USA into this war.
If Putin’s flight from Russia to Anchorage was nonstop, where did it originate?
So most Ukrainians know the war is lost...and that the Z man is an idiot. Time to deal.
The United States flag was raised on October 18, 1867, now called Alaska Day, and the region changed from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. Previously, the dateline was the eastern border of Alaska, now it was the western border.
Therefore, for residents, Friday, October 6, 1867, was followed by Friday, October 18, 1867—two Fridays in a row because of the 12-day shift in the calendar minus one day for the date-line shift.

Technically, one can walk from one country to the other (in the winter time)......it’s only 2.4 miles.
The US ran a coup in Ukraine, Russia had a response. WE are the ones who upset the balance of power. Zelensky was installed precisely to poke the Russian Bear.
Any nation would react similarly, if an opposing military force cozies up against their border.
Why does Russia need containment? WTF are they going to do, and when is the last time they attacked Europe? Going after Germany in WW 2? Wasn’t that close to 100 years ago?
The Soviets are gone, how about the NATO go the same direction, dissolve, and the US go back to pre-WW2 standing?
If Europe wants protection, DO IT YOURSELF.
