Russia Attacks Ukraine - Revised

It does not fit in these now modern times- the news that's dominating our TVs. With some gains made in world diplomacy- these scenes of war are too hard to believe. The Afghan war went on some twenty years; yet threats of World War III seemed off the board, since direful risks of nuclear weaponry did grant discouragement for future wars. And yet, it's happening before our eyes two countries now engaged in fight or flee- with fears of bringing others in the mix- all NATO countries heading into war. Though unprovoked, Ukrainians are caught in war with sins against humanity! Russia discounts rules of engagement, so all women, men, and children are fair game! How did this war slip back to brutish times- now watching that Ukrainians must flee to save their lives against the Russian plans bombing their city Kyiv- and many more? We had progressed ahead of former times as fighting wars unveiled the awful costs. But now, this war misfits- and perhaps peace- is obsolete when enemies serve greed.
