That would be insane.

Fuck I'm agreeing with Burt again. Categorically insane.

Even I agree.

Just trying to watch guys throw baseballs on IG live this morning:

All this talk about the resolve of the Ukrainian people and military: is it just wish casting, or are we actually going to see an insurgency?

Hard to tell what will happen. Russia has superior power, but what is their goal? A dictatorship in Ukraine? Make it a part of Russia?

The most plausible theory I've seen is that it's a bit of shock and awe to cow Ukraine into accepting Russian control of the Donbas region (do we actually think Russia thinks they can take and hold Ukraine?). But perhaps they do!

If this could end with Ukraine only giving up Donbas and Crimea, and then being free to live free in their democracy, even join the EU in time, that would be something to consider. But the Russians going after Kiev tells me something else. We’ll see.

Reassuring Abigail that everything is ok.

Who is Abigail?

That bug-eyed freak he simps for.

"We will seek to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine and put to justice those that committed numerous bloody crimes against peaceful people, including Russian nationals."

pretty clear for me

Even if you're trying to take a region, you pretty much have to go after the capital/fight everywhere, too.

I dunno, I think now might be the chance to settle things in Syria.
