Meanwhile in Ukraine

Oh Good.
Disputed territory with a majority population belonging to another national identity.

Hmmmmm, have I heard that one before

This is getting entertaining.

I've convinced myself there will be no war in the Ukraine between the West and Russia.

I can’t find anything suggesting that we would intervene, other than if a nato country goes rogue and does something stupid. Apparently, we’re all going to blow up if ANY of them decide to attack Russia.

This is WWI levels of stupidity.

And we’re about to find out. Russia officially recognized the breakaway regions in Ukraine, and is moving troops in as we speak. Fun times.

Putin just did what Biden and Co. have been demanding. He recognized the importance of freedom, democracy, and self-determination, BUT IN DONETSK.

NATO can't get in a war with Russia, they are dependent on the Slavs for energy.

Apparently, they’re planning sanctions. Those probably last until autumn, when the furnaces kick on again.

I fear that the stupidity and hubris that this Brandon Administration is filled full of, will actually go to war with Russia thinking it will be a small quick skirmish.

WWI stupidity indeed!

I'm reading the translation of the Putin Speech, he openly takes on the Principles of Communism, Lenin and Nation Building.

"why did the communists make such generous presents to the minority nationalists? this makes no sense, it is insane. but there is an explanation: after the revolution, the main goal of the bolsheviks was to stay in power by any means necessary."

"the leninist principles of nation-building weren't just a mistake, they were 'worse than a mistake'. this became extremely obvious in 1991."

"we cannot change the past, but we have to speak about it openly and honestly."

I believe that was openly directed at the Bolsheviks ruling the West right now.

Scott Adams showed a map of dozens of Russian LNG pipelines in Ukraine, and made the convincing argument that they must protect them no-matter-what.

Biden wants to impose economic sanctions. Russia produces 10 million barrels of oil per day. Russian gold reserves are 2,300 tonnes. If oil goes up $10 per barrel, Russia adds $3 billion per month. If gold rises 10%, Russia adds $15 billion. Russia feels no pain, just profit.

I think Putin caught Zelensky with his pants down. Zelensky was expecting business as usual saber rattling.
