Ukraine Invasion

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
--Genesis

After Russia formally recognized the independence of two eastern regions of Ukraine, and officials from those regions requested assistance in defending against Ukraine national forces, Russian forces invaded the country last night. Both air and ground attacks focused on military targets and affected several cities, including the Ukraine capital of Kiev.

As is the case whenever war begins, a 'fog' engulfs information pools that blurs what is going on. Emotions also run high as feelings of nationalism and sovereignty reinforce tribal bonds.

Markets have been thrown for a loop, of course.

Let us pray for those involved, and that peace quickly reasserts itself as status quo in the region.
