World War 1 started in Europe. World War 2 started in Europe. Do you see a pattern (history repeats itself)? Ukraine is not a democracy or Ukraine would already be in NATO and European Union. Ukraine is an authoritarian government. Russia is an authoritarian government. Why is USA and European Union countries pouring billions of dollars in military aid into Ukraine - an authoritarian government? Ukraine is in Europe. Will World War 3 start in Europe - as the previous world wars did?
