UKRAINE WAR - A DE-FACTO STATE OF WAR EXISTS BETWEEN THE U.S., U.K., NATO, & RUSSIA
Due to the fact that U.S. and NATO countries are very heavily supporting and suppling Ukrainian military forces, it would be foolish not to acknowledge that the U.S. & NATO countries are in a 'de-facto' state-of-war with Russia. This is often called a "Cold War."

THE MOST SERIOUS THREAT WE FACE IS...
The Power Grid being hacked/disabled if at war.
“If the grid went down for a long enough time…
90 percent of the U.S. population would die from starvation, lack of water, and social disruption. We are talking about total devastation.”
-- Ambassador Henry Cooper, Former Director of U.S. Strategic Defense

ON A KNIFE'S EDGE (meaning)
Tensions are so very high between the U.S. and Russian military, any close proximity of our militaries could easily break out into shooting, which could also lead to a direct hot war.
In the Black Sea, the Russian military has already been caught significantly threatening U.S. military sea and air operations in international sea and air space - including the downing a U.S. drone. Russian missiles have also struck several NATO countries that border Ukraine.
