I think the headlines above really say it all. The war has already started! Sure, it’s not the conventional Blitzkrieg kicking off in the early morning hours that everyone expected to happen; rather, Ukraine and Russia are slipping into war. And I am not talking about the existing war with the pro-Russian separatists (aka traitors) in Eastern Ukraine. This moment is the beginning of a new war. Indeed, there will be a moment when tanks start rolling and airplanes start dropping bombs, but the event has already started. Buckle up! I have a really bad feeling about this.
