NATO is not a world police force; but it keeps getting members closer and closer to Russia . This is what Putin is afraid of . he doesn't trust the west . Ukraine is not a member of NATO ; he has invaded that country before it can join ;like Latvia and lithuania. If NATO did intervene we would surely have Nuclear weapons involved at some point ; and the thought of this is too horrible to think about . remember M.A.D. MUTUAL ASSURED DISTRUCTION..

There was no co-op near us but I'm wondering if the person who gave you a lift was Mr. Greenwood who had a sweet shop further down the road and I think he had a car ; not sure though. How is Elizabeth . -
