After posting, I found that Netherlands, Japan and Israel have encouraged their citizens to evacuate. Strangely not Canada, Britain, (which have sent weapons to Ukraine) and Germany.
"gotta luv" the U.S. Canada and Britain. Usually before a fight one asks "Hold my coat" in this case, they have said we'll supply the gloves but won't fight.
It is good to know that Biden is taking a calm approach. (sarcasm)
Despite repeated warnings from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that the U.S. is driving the rise of tensions at Ukraine's eastern border, the U.S. Air Force has deployed four B-52 bombers with nuclear capabilities to the U.K., where one official acknowledged that the deployment is at least partially connected to Russia's recent military activities.
The UK and Canada are also asking their citizens to leave now. The Ukrainian government still is saying there won't be an invasion but their commanders are preparing for it.

I think Putin's main goal is to take back the former republics of the Soviet Union. He already has chunks of Georgia and Ukraine. If I lived in the Baltic States, I would be very worried. I don't think the West has the stomach for a major fight right now.

PUTIN'S plan has ALWAYS been to restore Russia to it's "rightful" place on the world stage......the plan, Sam has been successful....we r now seeing US intel become reality. the way this plays out is a done deal. Putin
has retained leadership and NOW is implementing an impressive incursion.....his dream was drawn out
MANY years ago. When U R invested in a result, USUALLY that comes to be.
