NBC is confirming explosions in Kyiv..and before 5 o'clock in the morning while people are asleep!!

Putin warned other countries that any attempt to interfere with the Russian action would lead to “consequences they have never seen.”

Familiar term...they have never seen. ...

His speech is here www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3pYbzFrnQU
if anyone speaks Russian...but no subtitles.
I expect one of the English speaking countries will have a subtitled version up soon.

I honestly thought the days of Russia invading other countries were over.
They've been interviewing people from the Ukraine on our news the last few days and they are all likening him to Hitler.

The world is just starting to pull itself out of the covid nightmare this is the last thing we need, more senseless deaths.
Americans can be very grateful that Trump is out - or you'd be on the wrong side of this, helping Putin instead of opposing him.

Yes, Trump would have opened the door for Putin and enabled him.

www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/23/russia-ukraine-updates/

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Thursday that the Kremlin had decided to carry out a “special military operation” in Ukraine.
“The situation requires us to take decisive, swift action,” he said in an early morning speech, adding that Moscow would carry out the “demilitarization and denazification” of Ukraine and end eight years of war in eastern Ukraine, where Kyiv government forces have been fighting pro-Moscow separatist militants.

Explosions could be heard in Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, and Kharkiv, in the country’s northeast. Putin told Ukrainians to give up their weapons and to return home.

I have heard US officials say that our soldiers won't be fighting against Russians. I understand the reasons why they are saying this, because they don't want to escalate things. I also know that can change depending on Russia's actions. But I am also hearing leaders saying that the world will respond to Putin's actions. So, what does that mean? Are other European countries going to be sending soldiers? NATO?

It will mean sanctions. Not severe ones at first, but they can be increased as this gets worse.

Our (admittedly useless) Prime Minister has spoken this morning, before this official declaration. Mainly about economic sanctions against Russia affecting banking/trade/travel etc.
No doubt Australia will back up any military actions the USA takes.

NATO could

www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/23/us-military-pentagon-ukraine-russia/

There’s another major step that NATO can take, however. The alliance has at its disposal a multinational unit called the NATO Response Force that numbers about 40,000 troops. NATO has never activated the force, in part because doing so requires the consent of all 30 members of the alliance.
Since Russia’s 2014 invasion of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula and subsequent annexation of it, NATO has taken several other steps to bolster security. They include establishing a multinational brigade in Romania, an air policing mission, and a Very High Readiness Task Force, or VJTF, that is on alert to deploy at a moment’s notice.

Ukraine has a pretty significant military of their own. Obviously smaller than Russia's though.

Yep. Putin has always made it clear that putting the USSR back together is his goal.
This is scary as hell. Who is going to try to stop him? Will the world let him run roughshod over the Balkins like Hitler did in Europe?

His ship is deploying very soon. He tells me he won't be on it. Their theater is too close for comfort. I asked if he could be pulled back on the ship and he didn't think so. So for now, I can somewhat rest easy. Best wishes for you and your son!

They’re not wrong. The Crimea was a Hitler taking Sudetenland equivalent. He just sat on it for 8 years, because he could. This is the same playbook, justifying invasion to protect so-called resident nationals. 🙁
