Ukraine is under attack. It's a full on war.

I don't think that the Ukraine will go down quietly.

I have some Russian artists in my news feed and a lot of them are posting that this act is the will of Putin, but not that of the Russian people.

Not too many wars are the will of the people. I would hazard to say almost NO war is the will of the people. It takes massive propaganda and often lies to get a population behind sending their young, strong, brave men to die on other people's dirt. I have no idea as to the Ukrainian capability to repel Russia. However it turns out, will be a ripple effect across the globe.

That's true.
It's also true that the main argument in favor of giving government the ability to print money is it's necessary for the government to raise sufficient funds, when there is a threat of war, because if they tried to raise taxes high enough to actually pay for the the war, the populace wouldn't support it.
Makes you wonder.

There is a reason the founders wanted no standing army. They figured if the USA was invaded, the army would form quickly from citizens. If the USA wanted to step into a foreign engagement, they would have to have a GREAT case to form up the army.

Printing money is way worse than taxes, since it devalues the currency.
