So 30+ years later, we get the ground war with Russia everyone had a wet dream about during the Cold War. Only its Ukraine that gets to have it with our hardware instead of the US. :P

It's called a "proxy war." I have no doubt the Pentagon is drooling over this opportunity, especially in the way Ukraine is kicking Russia's ass. This is exactly why the US and NATO will deliver everything they can to Ukraine. I would surprised if NATO countries are NOT encouraging their warriors to join international regiments in Ukraine.

It really is exactly as Moscow is saying -- they're not just fighting Ukraine, they're fighting NATO. So f*****g what? FAFO.

I should add: I oppose war. I've never seen a war that was justified. But in this case it's Russia that isn't justified -- Russia that caused this war -- and it would be wrong not to support Ukraine's efforts to remain free.
