Sunday Reflection: War
The threat of war in Europe is greater now than it has been since the Bosnian conflict three decades ago. Russia has massed troops on three borders around Ukraine, and the US has warned that an attack seems imminent.
Perhaps it won't happen. But if it does, there are a lot of dangerous outcomes. And expansionist Russia will threaten not only Ukraine, but Romania and Bulgaria as well, not to mention Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. If Russia gets what it wants, it will encourage China to move against Taiwan. It is a perilous time.
If war happens, the US could easily get sucked in. Already, troops have been committed to nearby countries and it will be hard to long keep out of the fray.
It's a good time to pray for peace.
