Russia

This article is about just what you would expect it to be about: Russia's invasion of the Ukraine. It talks about how rumors are flying around that the Russian military has demanded surrender of their forces in Crimea, or risk a full assault, but a Russian spokesperson said that is not true.  It talks about how the US is possibly going to "Target Russian individuals and organizations with economic sanctions", and how the EU is "also preparing to hit Moscow with sanctions." It also says that the UK prime minister urges allies to send economic aid.

I honestly don't know much of the situation or how things were between the Ukraine and Russia before this whole ordeal. I obviously do not think it is good that Russia invaded Ukraine, but I don't feel informed enough to know whether I think we should intervene or not. I feel like I can't really make comments when I don't know how the Ukraine people really feel about it, or how things really are over there. One thing that made me think is the quote they had from Obama saying that Moscow was "on the wrong side of history". I do wonder what the history books 100 years from now will say about today. Maybe it will just blow off and the history books will all but ignore it, or maybe it turns into WWIII. Who knows, but it is interesting to think about.
