I still have no idea what is actually going on.

If Ukraine were about to get itself wiped off the face of the Earth after firing American weapons at Russia I would probably want to get as many out of there as possible also. They cannot all be evil. Might consider moving from here as well as Russia might not bother to care that it was Ukraine and only see that beautiful Made in America sticker. Easiest way to have WWIII happen without anyone really being able to be blamed in the long run. Ukraine probably accidentally hits a button after gloating about how they will in a trending video. "Training Exercise!" If they have as many as 99 anything it would be possible that Russia "couldn't" determine where they came from and thus assume the worst and potentially ignore Ukraine all together as well. Who knows? I am caffeinated AF!
