How Does Putin's Invasion Affect The United States

In March of 2014 the current leader of Russia (Vladimir Putin) stated Russian military forces would not invade Ukrainian soil. Yet, less than 24 hours later there were reports of Russian troops pushing into the Ukrainian province of Crimea. Did the first of many downright lies of Putin’s raise any red flags in America or the U.N.? Sadly they did not. Instead, playing the game let us see what Putin will say to these reports next.

If it becomes apparent that the United States will be in jeopardy because of Russian forces, then this is when we need to take a seat at the table. Until then why mess with an invasion that has nothing to do with United States citizens in any
