All of this talk surrounding war makes me nervous. If NATO gets involved, my husband could very well be drafted. I just want my kids to grow up in a normal world. I get that isn't how life is, but it's heavy to think about the fact that this could escalate even more so.

IMHO Putin has called NATO's bluff, still not a peep from the west in response to Russia raising the stakes.
Can't see NATO sending troops to match the Russian escalation, they only wanted a proxy war at the expense of Ukrainian dead.
If Kiev had honoured the Minsk agreements they signed they would not now have lost 4 more regions to the Russians.
But the deep state seems to be hard at work here (see latest Energy thread posts) so anything is still posible.
Zelensky boasts getting $1.5 billion every month

"The United States gives us $1.5 billion every month to support our budget to fight" against Russia the Ukrainian leader explained, but pointed out there remains "a deficit of $5 billion in our budget." He immediately pivoted to repeating Kyiv's longtime complaint that it's not enough - because it's never enough - though by and large the common American taxpayer seems oblivious amid the onslaught of constant war headlines.
