I will not be surprised at all to see US and/or Russian property and possibly even troops on either or both sides killed.

I don’t have a shred of doubt the neither Pootin or 45 give one flying fuck about the lives of their pawns (from their point of view) in the military.

The investigation is getting closer and closer. They need to up the anti to divert attention away from the investigation, and they’ll need to go bigger now. Nothing like a staged war, and dead troops to give 45 the support he’ll need to kill off the investigation now.
