Matters are critical

This Ukraine issue is far more serious than we are being led to believe by media. Nuclear war potential is at a high level. Very high! Escalation can get things out of control quickly. We have about 6 months worth of food, perhaps. A nuclear winter would end harvest of crops for a long time. Human and animal life on planet Earth will be cut by half, at least, if things escalate to that level. 

To borrow an idea from something I recently wrote, I think some are thinking Estevan was bitten, when in fact he was eaten. That's a huge difference. Huge! 

Putin doesn't ever act or make decisions to fail. WW III doesn't seem all that farfetched of a possibility. The best thing that could happen now is that Putin would suddenly decide to retreat. Of course, that would mean the end of his career. Consequently, continuing for the long run and winning is a more realistic choice for him, since he would have more to gain than lose. Economic sanctions might be bothersome, but if Putin's imperialistic goal is accomplished, the temporary economic difficulty is immediately over with all the new resources acquired (stolen from the newly conquered land). My suggestions: pray!
