This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

I’m not rooting for wwlll, not rooting for us troops on the ground. I guess I wonder
There’s no shortage of dictators around the globe killing people every day. Look at Africa or the Middle East. 19 years ago today we began a war that removed one evil dictator.

I understand the outrage on Ukraine. I understand the want for blood. I cant bring myself to watch half the videos being posted here because it hurts too much as a parent of a 4 year old. it sucks.

But we also have to be rational, because others, specifically the dictator you mentioned, may not be.

Some of also believe we can’t always be the worlds police force. The ones that bring “peace and democracy” with our big swinging dicks and paid for with our kid’s lives.

Agree with all of this, and then i think if Putin is not stopped now then we will inevitably be pulled into something much larger down the road. It’s vital he fail in this endeavor.
 
I believe they have powered down all but one of their nuclear plants since the Fukashima disaster, and the one remaining plant is slated to close in a year or two. Would the Germans yield on that plant? Look, if anyone can engineer their way to more efficient renewables it’s the Germans, but it’s going to take time to replace all of that Russian gas and nuclear power.
Didn’t hear any talk about keeping the plant open but I think in general….nuclear should be considered as a “clean” alternative
 
Who is Candace Owens? Never heard of her so I looked her up and she is a conservative talk show host. What has she accomplished in life where anyone should care what she says?
Actually she was a liberal opinion writer that sued her school for racism, won a monetary judgment, started a progressive online blog, failed, went under ground and re-invented herself as a conservative commentator. Same start as all the other AM radio grifters.
 
I keep going back and forth on this post about military tribunals. I have no doubt that the Russians will do this, but this seems like more of a threat to get people to leave. As the war turns against Russia, I have more fears of Russia using chemical weapons, or more of those massive vapor bombs (Or, whatever), to clear out civilians. One scenario I can see is Putin sliding backwards around Kiev, declaiming the war over, but keeping the southern gains including Mariupol and saying it's all part of the Donbass now, and linked to Crimea.
