Russia And Ukraine Are On The Brink Of War \u2013 And Why That Could Lead To World War 3<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n
\n

\"\"<\/a>A respected foreign journalist living in Ukraine is warning that a war that most Americans cannot even imagine \u201cteeters on the razor thin edge of becoming real\u201d<\/a>.\u00a0 When Russia opened fire on Ukrainian Navy vessels and captured three of their ships, it made headlines all over the globe.\u00a0 An emergency meeting of the UN Security Council was hastily arranged for Monday at 11 AM, and hopefully there will be a positive outcome from that meeting.\u00a0 Because right now Moscow and Kiev are on the brink of war, and once a Russian invasion happens there will be no turning back.\u00a0 At that point the U.S. would have a major decision to make, and if we chose to defend Ukraine that could mean that we would suddenly find ourselves fighting World War 3.<\/p>\n

Most people don\u2019t realize that this crisis has been simmering for over a week.\u00a0 The following is from a U.S. News & World Report article that was posted on November 19th<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

A dispute over shipping lanes is threatening to reignite the 4-year-old simmering war between Ukraine and Russia following confrontations sparked by both sides in recent days.<\/p>\n

Russian border guards on Monday detained Ukrainian fishing vessels in the Sea of Azov, a strategically important body of water contained to the north by Ukraine, to the west by the Crimean Peninsula and to the east and south by Russia. Monday\u2019s incident came days after Russian President Vladimir Putin slammed Kiev for detaining Russian commercial ships also in the Azov in what he described as \u201ca totally illegal move\u201d and which Kremlin officials have warned may prompt retaliation<\/strong>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When you realize what has already taken place, it puts the most recent events in an entirely different context.<\/p>\n
