I am a little worried about the whole thing, but I don't think that America has the resources or troops needed to even consider attacking Russia. I'm hoping all of this can be resolved without anymore conflict. We will have to wait and see...

Exchange worry for anger, use the anger as a catalyst for change and perhaps collectively something can be done.
Worry does no one any good, understand the facts, asses the threats, and speak your mind on the issues.
Worry is a wasted emotion, and leads to apathy.... I hope we are better than this, we are the people, and should refuse to live in fear of corrupt evil leaders, who think of us as nothing more than potential collateral damage.
Yet the red-hot emotion has a positive side, say psychologists who study anger. In studies and in clinical work, they find anger can help clarify relationship problems, clinch business deals, fuel political agendas and give people a sense of control during uncertain times. More globally, they note, it can spur an entire culture to change for the better, as witnessed by the civil rights movement of the 1960s and the earlier women's suffrage movement.

It is by far better than worry.
Did you know there is such a thing as constructive anger?
