Lots of variables in tension. I foresee compromise

This guy is about to fall out of a window

Lets allow Ukraine to base its planes in Polish territory and support the war from there. Imagine how frustrated that would make Vladdie. It would be just like the Korean War, Vietnam War and Afghanistan where there was a no-go sanctuary for the superpower's foe.

Russia has changed the eastern territory question to include areas held by Ukraine so, the pretext for the invasion has hit the next step.

I see Nord2 has been stopped. This is a huge step for Germany. The language of "re-assessed" is wiggle room that does not help, however.

Heading to bed. This happens shortly. Godspeed Ukraine!

I am really hoping to hit the sweet spot in retirement where I'm close enough to the free-thinking folk of a place like AA and somewhere cheap enough to live and still get down to Comerica Park a couple times a year without having to have too long a commute. On a lake ideally. Super Ideally close enough to walk to ice cream at night. Uber ideally, with enough land where I don't see my neighbor. Extra uber ideally, with guaranteed no Trumpies within the vicinity.

So, I returned from Michigan to DC area by car. I was on my own so I decided to roll through Ann Arbor area. Lovely. A nice drive compared to the pot-holed mess that is the Western Suburbs of Detroit (Livonia in particular). After, I drove out of town via 23. I stopped off at Dundee to see Cabelas to see if they had any reloading supplies. Oh my! Crowded gun counter. The Trump garb on the people shopping there. East European guy in Black shirt and BDU pants was asking about various pistols. No masks except for a guy who was looking at the boats. I wonder how many of these gravy seals are hoping for a civil war. Looking for their own Harper's Ferry to kick off the race war.

Lord help us

Germany and Poland would like a word about Kaliningrad as well.

So Schlapp and co are declaring for Vladdie

Rand Paul and Jill Stein are both among the guilty.

THIS most of this had to do with Obama and Hillary but might have also had something to do with the people getting campaign contributions in Congress.

Its stuff that informed some of the extreme pessimists I had talked to about this. If might inspire a more determined resistance if people know they face certain atrocities or death. It might create terror and despondency.

welp, the title of this thread got ironic

Peggy Noonan on MTP…did we lose Fiona Hill’s phone number?

Earnest goes to jail was an under appreciated classic which informed The Shawshank Redemption

Interesting professional take I dunno. If Putin doesn't care what happens to them...it could be longer.

That is actually a charity in Canada https://www.saintjavelin.com/

Also very good

SNORT!

Say the bubbas and neck beards had succeeded on 1/6…they had the scaffolding out and were hanging anyone who gain sayed them. People would be sorely pressed to demonstrate courage.
