UN yesterday reported over 360 civilian deaths in Ukraine. That’s very sad - it’s tragic. But, does it fit the narrative of unrestrained bombings for so many days? - of total warfare against dozens of large cities and population centers? Not quite. If it were true, it would be many times as many.

RB, generally I like your posts, but this subject you need to think over a bit more attentively. You think that after decades of won battles and lost wars (including the recent capitulation in Afghanistan, to a bunch of determined peasants) we can simply waltz into Moscow, arrest Putin, give him a fair trial and then hang him? i don’t think so. Besides, what’s the point - their next president would be doing the same thing.

They’re offering to stop hostilities provided their demands are met? Take them up on it. It’s consistent with what they wanted since the 90’s. They would stop. Much smarter than keep flirting with end of the world scenarios. The Ukrainian people would probably be very grateful. And so would be the “normals” of the rest of the world.

My rule is not to try changing people’s minds. It’s a lot of work - and practically never works.
In this post, if you haven’t seen it, I describe my view, in brief. Message 33743413

PS - and… Putin destroyed the global economy and caused inflation? In one week?

Yep. Think it over.
