> impending doom that's hanging over our heads?

The conflict is localized to parts of Ukraine. There is no impending doom as long as NATO does not directly intervene. And I simply don't see Biden or Johnson sacrificing American and British cities for the sake of Ukraine.

To their credit, the US administration has been fairly calm given the circumstances. It is the European leaders that have been issuing belligerent statements and walking them back. They keep using the term "war" when referring to their actions against Russia.

Yeah they should have said "special non-millitary operation" instead, right?

What I wrote: THEY keep using the term "war" when referring to THEIR actions against Russia.

If a British or French minister says that THEY are at war with Russia, how is Russia supposed to interpret that?
