1. Kicking for visibility

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. Yup, Putin's goal is shifting from seizing the country to reducing it to rubble.

Ukrainian democracy would be destroyed either way.

[Rhiannon12866]

7. That's exactly what he's doing - and the rest of the world appears helpless to stop him

3. Putin cannot win but he will not back down

This will get nasty

[Rhiannon12866]

9. And that's why it's getting nasty - violent and unconscionable...

4. "Russsian chauvinism, Russian exceptionalism" - sounds familiar

white power.

5. I'm telling ya, the Ides of March is Tuesday.

I have a feeling about it.

6. "Americans will always do the right thing after all other alternatives are exhausted."

Vindman knows his history and strategies better than most. Definitely more than any repuglicon.

8. Kudos to him for speaking out - again!

[SheltieLover]

10. +1,000!

12. One critical difference...

Yes, we finally cast our lots with the side of the angels after holding back for YEARS in WWI and WWII, but there were no nuclear threats when we joined those conflicts. The choice becomes a death knell now for all concerned.

[erronis]

13. Yes, the threat of total annihilation. Of course the US was the original developer/user and now

other countries have learned to use it as a end-game threat. The genie has been unleashed.
