Turns out this silly nonsense with the Ukraine has just been an extended Russian reenactment.
(a) Gee...I hope the French choose to do a full scale reenactment of Borodino. Or the Germans choose to do one of Tannenburg. Or the Japanese choose to make one of Tsushima. Or...etc.
(b) I hate BBC and CNN (not to mention YouTube) with the fiery intensity of a thousand white-hot suns because of their stupid automatically-playing videos - and because they're all set to play some pointless commercial that wastes our time.
Looks like bread & circuses is the order of the day there, with their economy tanking.

Maybe we could do one re-enacting their war in Afghanistan.

I thought we were re-enacting the 19th century British in Afghanistan.

Maybe, but the parallel to SuicideKitty's comparisons falls apart if you do that. And besides, the Brits were just re-enacting Alexander The Great's occupation.
I thought the US was reenacting their time in Vietnam.

nah - they figured that one out in about 7 years and had things stabilized until Congress cut off funding to the southies after they defeated the '72 invasion.
I was thinking more along the lines of allowing the bad guys a safe place to regroup, except for an occasional air strike ie North Vietnam vs Pakistan.
