  1. It's easy for Americans to be distracted by other things, but the world really will never be the same after this war. Europeans seem to be coming to grips with that as we speak
  2. Germany and Italy have reversed....
  3. Another war crime to add to Putin's tab
  4. Cutting off flights is drastic, but we probably need to start looking at that
  5. The conventional wisdom is that it probably is tight enough to survive. Domestically, aside from the people, the other question I have is about the oligarchs... at least a portion of his grip comes from them. An individual oligarch who crosses Putin may go off a third-floor balcony, but there may be power in numbers should some of them turn en masse.
  6. That may be the hope, but it seems delusional
  7. Something like that. A demilitarized puppet state would risk rapid collapse the moment Russia pulled troops out. Think Ashraf Ghani's Afghan government
  8. I have a handful of acquaintances (both on the left and right) who have made excuses or been fans of Putin over the years. Just seeing what they have posted on Facebook at times. I wonder if any of this is opening their eyes... or (gulp) if this is just part of the appeal
  9. Heroes... all of them
  10. I really hope this man comes out of this alive. That's leadership
  11. In other words, he's Colonel Kurtz.
