I'll tell this to anyone: Putin's Russia WILL. NOT. STOP. AFTER. UKRAINE.
Fail here, and there is a good likelihood at some point American troops in the 21st Century will have to repeat the sacrifices their grandfathers and great uncles made in World War II.

(8,291 posts)Right now Im about 1000 miles west from Kiev and if Russia starts dropping a-bombs around here, Im f**cked. Im leaving in a couple of months and theres no way I want to get stalled by him, the dictator. Let me leave first. You think migration is bad now, wait until that happens! No dont. Stop it now.

Tusk is an incredibly experienced politician whose time as an officeholder within the EU and the contacts he's built up make him well placed to kick some ass if necessary in effective ways. I look forward to seeing him in action.
