The War In Ukraine

You know it really saddens me to see what is going on in Ukraine in this day and age and once again the world is letting it happen . Why is it that when the US or UK governments create war in other countries in defence of that countries so called freedom for example iraque or afghanistan then they go in all guns blazing and leave a mess far worse than than was before they went in . Now a country actually asks no begs for their help they wont even provide air support even though the whole of europe would act as well if the UK or the US would lead the charge . Their all saying it would cause world war 3 but really would it .
Putin maybe be mad or just a hell of a strategist but he knows full well if he hit the button it would be all over in a matter of hours and he wouldnt be alive to tell the tale . He has relied on his bluster to hold the world at bay and hollow threats , to allow him to maim and murder while the world watches . I hate the man but you have to admire the fact that he took a gamble and its paying off . He must be grinning ear to ear and thinking what a bunch of idiots world leaders are . Such a sad state of affairs when one man holds the world to ransom because no one has got the balls to put their head above the parapit and make the first move .
