Are we already in WWIII?

3. My pacifist nature went out the window some time ago.... I'm now having "fantasies"

that include taking out that enormous convoy en route to Kyiv (at a minimum) while the rest of the young Russian conscripts surrender or head back to their homes in Russia.

I don't know how we will bear seeing the slaughter of Ukrainians before our literal eyes in real-time. We had a chance to stop Hitler before the worst began. We didn't do so. Maybe it is time to learn from history and our mistakes.

And I say this as one only 60 some miles from the nearest of the multiple nuclear missile silos-- that would surely be targeted-- that line the plains from Colorado through Wyoming, Nebraska, and into the Dakotas. So while we make jokes about the lonely Air Force serviceman or woman that spends their waking hours guarding these active remnants of the cold war, no one should ever forget their presence. Especially now.

Sometimes doing what is right may carry a horrendous cost. But at least this time around the international community is closely aligned.
