Well, I, for one, was comforted by the fact that, when asked if he had any message for Putin, our former president, Donald John Trump, said, " I have no message for Putin."Originally Posted by James Lacey
It is a bit scary. I've read some chatter that Putin even has a dead-man switch in place; i.e., if he gets taken out, the nukes fly. For the love of all that is decent, let's hope that is not true. You hope that a nuclear-armed superpower has good command and control of its arsenal. Still, Russia has devolved into little more than a kleptocracy run by an increasingly isolated madman losing his grip on power. At least when you had the politburo, there was some dissemination of management and decision-making.
The only choice seems to be to arm the Ukrainians, slam Russia with sanctions, and continue to hope there are people in charge with cool heads somewhere in Russia.
If the universe is listening, I would like to get off this historical events run-away freight train. Haha.

Here are the 10 countries with the most oil production:Originally Posted by Mel Maki
"We did not make Russia rich with oil money."
If we produced enough energy Russia would make less money.
Right now Biden is announcing we will release from the Strategic Reserve.
Would have been better to just turn up the tap a little.
Gawd, now he is back to trickle down and high speed internet. And he still wants to fix some bridges!

In other words, like Trump, you have no message for Putin...Originally Posted by Mel MakiWould it be more effective to take the actions Blinken is talking about but with less fanfare? We don't like Putin but a couple of times Blinken did rub Putin's face in the dirt a bit. If Putin is backed into a corner some, should he be slapped around a little because it feels good? Helpful to future talks?

Just responding to Mel's "thinking" on the matter.Originally Posted by Russ Carroll
Rod, you seem to put most everything through a Trump sieve. I’d actually be interested in your thoughts looking past that history.

Quite true, and an interesting "what if" Trump was still in power, according to John Bolton:Originally Posted by Russ Carroll
Regardless of what our admin did or didn’t do, Putin did the heavy lifting on this one. He has managed to unite and reinvigorate NATO with one event.

"Bolton tells the truth some of the time, doesn't he?"Originally Posted by Mel Maki
Bolton now hates Trump. Trump now hates Bolton. Dems also hated Bolton. But now want to rehab him enough that people might believe his screeds against Trump. Bolton tells the truth some of the time, doesn't he?
