Using a third-person form is not evidence of anything, silly quibbler. Let me stipulate some things.
1) Indeed, a non-NATO Russia invaded a non-NATO Ukraine.
2) As of today, Russia is not a part of NATO, and Ukraine is not a part of NATO.
3) Quibbling over verb forms is not disputation nor debate. It is childish.
4) I do not and have not typed an "LOL" about anything concerning this war, or any violence, civil and as small as a single crime to an entire war. LOL is inane, though so many use it without thinking that "laughing out loud" is a suitable part of adult discussion.
5) You could give some thought to the use of language, as in 1 Samuel 19:8. Or perhaps the likes of a History channel article which uses the expression that LOL's you: "Born in poverty, Andrew Jackson (1767-1845) had become a wealthy Tennessee lawyer and rising young politician by 1812, when war broke out between the United States and Britain." Or Britannica's "When war broke out, former Mexican president and general Antonio López de Santa Anna (the vanquisher of the Texan forces at the Alamo in 1836) contacted Polk." Or the title of a motion picture: Witness 1939: When War Broke Out."
Next time you want to LOL me, get yourself some worthy ammunition, because this time YOUR MAGAZINE WAS EMPTY.
Its called helping the enemy(Ukraine) of our enemy(Russia).
Right, Reagan was wrong in helping countries, because they were not in NATO. Okay
