Russia invades Ukraine.

So thanks! And this video is a good summary of what's going on. Plus, I've been to Finland and attacking them wouldn't make any sense, either, they continued to let Russian airlines land there when the U.S. would not. This has really gotten out of control, Putin seems to be attempting to start another world war...
