Russia invades Ukraine {2022-02-24} (Part 1)

Paranoid?
Oh come on now. Russia is cast as the big bad evil empire constantly. Not paranoid for them to think some folks might have it out for them.
But also. It is on the whole a good thing that so many nations have very civil borders. Their squabbles are at mostly low levels. Conducting things through negotiations. A few ongoing hot spots that are so frustrating.
I really wish we could get over the fear of someone wanting to rule the world, and the desire of some to try and rule the world.
