As we celebrate the first anniversary of the war in Ukraine it's important to remember how it started, and it didn't start a year ago when Russia invaded Ukraine. The conflict in Ukraine goes back decades, before the coup in 2014 and even before the Orange Revolution in 2004. There are many components to the war, and the roots of the conflict are deep. The tensions leading to the war have been festering in Ukraine since WWII and they have finally come to hot war, but even the hot war didn't start last year. Ukraine has been in hot civil war since Euromaidan and the 2014 coup. The war has escalated from internal ethnic tensions between native Ukraines, Muslim Tartars, and Russian Ukraines, to hot civil war in the Donbas, to Russia invading. However, now there is a threat that this conflict can escalate outside of the borders of Ukraine and cause a global conflict that leads to the next World War. How are the policies of the Biden administration, along with Republicans and Democrats backing him in Congress, inching us closer and closer to that reality?
