give all the sanctions we have, no need to hold back now. Sanction the oligarchs and their families, sanction VTB bank. Sanction the Russian exports of fossil fuels, I am prepared to pay 7 dollars a gallon for gas, screw them. Sanction China if it helps Putin.

The world has seen this before. Ukraine is the Sudetenland of this century.

If Putin is not stopped now, he will move on to the Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland. If Putin cannot be stopped with economic sanctions, war will be inevitable.

There are sufficient arms in the country for an insurgency if one arises and it would be easy to get more into the country.

The US and NATO made it clear long ago there was no risk of a military response. Putin was free to attack and Ukraine has been left to its own devices.

All that remains are sanctions.
