Well, here is a start to 2022. Russia is invading Ukraine! The Russian president put thousands of troops over the border into Ukraine. The high threat of an invasion. Now a possible dangerous encounter between the East and West. These two countries are not the only ones in danger from the situation. President Joe Biden has placed up to 8,500 troops on high alert for possible deployment. While this seems like a lot, Russia currently has 100,000 troops along the border of Ukraine. They are planning to have an invasion force of 175,000 troops into Ukraine.  “[T]he most consequential thing that’s happened in the world in terms of war and peace since World War II,” said President Joe Biden.
