I don't want a long, drawn out war to get to the same conclusion. Too many lives will be lost.

Orange twice-impeached sociopath were still here, NONE of this would be happening (substitute any issue or perceived grievance).
Not sure why I tuned in for twenty minutes but unlike my Covid booster, I won't be returning for another dose....

When Russia has finally stopped fighting Ukranians and declares victory, when Putin dies of "natural" causes within the next decade and Russia maintains its pariah status into, at least, the mid-2030's.

The part about holding senators accountable for anything..........that will remain a fantasy until the PTB figure out how to capitalize it.

I fear this war may escalate. Putin wouldn’t be above using nuclear weapons in Ukraine. We are in a very perilous time.

His goal has been to establish world dominance, look strong and in control.

Instead he looks weak, has lost face, and he may have to pull a stunt to get back his desired narrative.

He also wants to win the war quickly.

He will face no real consequences ever. Which is why he needs to be dead asap. One so that he can do no more harm and two to pay for all he has done.
