6. It's got me a little worried too. WWll didn't start off as a full-blown world war either.

At first it was just Hitler invading Poland allegedly for more living space. Chamberlain flew to Munich in '39 and cut a deal with Hitler, he thought, for just another piece of land, of Czechoslovakia. "Peace is at hand," he declared.

Wrong. Hitler was not sated and Britain and France declared war and the rest is history. I hope we're not repeating all of that with these talks with Putin over his demands. And now vets from other countries are being drawn in on both sides. It's scary.
