Putin's War -- April 26, 2022

All indications, the "tea leaves," with regard to "military ops" going forward, use whatever analogy you want, but these all fit:

• Ukraine becomes the "next Korea" -- a war that was never declared and never ended;
• Ukraine becomes the "next Vietnam" -- never declared but finally ended where the US lost
• Ukraine becomes the "next Iraq" -- I've long lost the bubble on Iraq (and no longer care)
  
• Ukraine becomes the "new Kurdistan" -- everyone has lost the bubble on Kurdistan
  
• Ukraine becomes the "next Afghanistan" -- never declared but US and Russia both lost that one
• Ukraine becomes the next divided country, west Ukraine / east Ukraine
• in all cases, prior to Ukraine, neither Russia nor the US shared a border with the country where the conflict existed
• Ukraine can and will carry the battle to "inside" Russia
  
• Putin's War will have greater global impact than all other conflicts noted above combined
