are that the U.S intelligence community, US Military, and the White house have been going night and day planning to react to "what if's"........We can be assured the intelligence people have been in constant contact with Ukraine's government........

but they are slow moving and require a massive amount of air support to protect them. Fighter escorts, missile protection, etc etc.
They would have none of that in this situation

What if Russia is praying for war and Ukraine is praying for peace ???

What happens then ???

The human species will never learn from their mistakes.

2022 and wars and invasions are still options to settle disputes ???

This is madness !!!
