Ukraine

A week ago many of us believed Russia would eventually pull its forces back. Since then Putin as sent his troops into these breakaway republics; announced that Ukraine has no right to soveriegnty; and that the break-up of the USSR was the greatest political catstrophe of the 20th century. The drum beats of war are loud and need to be take seriously.

Nothing to see here

Not to get political here but could you imagine how much more tense things could be if our last president was in office? I feel like we would have attacked first and even double downed on taking back Crimea out of spite. What a time to be alive
 
Russia is going to lose big here, Germany hit on their pipeline is a big deal but it has not been built yet but it is a clear sign that if Russia wants to sell gas to Europe this is the wrong way to go about it, they are going to lose hundreds if not thousands of soldiers in a massively unpopular war, and when the sanctions due out today all come home to roost and the top Russian oligarchs start feeling the squeeze they will be begging Putin to back off. There is nothing for Putin to win here, at best he ends up with two little "independent" nations that don't want to be under his umbrella and will be a constant thorn in his side.

The western countries are flexing a lot of capabilities right now and making sure Putin see's all of it. In the end Russia is not a a super power anymore, their nukes is the only reason they are able to try and force global policy. The USA however can and will project power anywhere on the planet we want, when we want and with the ability to use that force to win. Those post WeatherNC makes about asset moving are a very clear warning and indicator to Putin that the USA is taking this very very seriously.
 
Putin is such a nice guy he has gone through the proper channels to get permission to start his war.
