[gordiescotland1]

I must admit I am quite shocked by the sudden escalation in the Ukraine Russian crisis tonight. What are the ABs thoughts on this ?

Rather ominous, and actually said by Putin:

Oops …

“ Former US President Donald Trump has called Vladimir Putin’s orders to send troops into Ukraine "genius".

Appearing on a right-wing radio show, Trump was asked about President Biden’s response to Putin’s sending military forces into Ukraine.

“I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius,’” Trump said.

“Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine - of Ukraine. Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful. So, Putin is now saying, ‘It’s independent,’ a large section of Ukraine.

"I said, ‘How smart is that?’ And he’s gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s strongest peace force … We could use that on our southern border”.

Hmmm …

At least he corrected “the Ukraine” to “Ukraine”
