Agree. But I think the prospect of a wider Russian takeover, ie, entire Ukraine or Ukraine east of the Dnieper has been foreclosed. Taking over all of Ukraine was impossible, absolutely not realistic. Eastern Ukraine, east of the Dnieper? Maybe. Because Biden essentially green-lighted Putin when he said before the invasion that NATO was "not united" regarding a "small incursion," I think that Putin has taken the bait and will turn the conflict into a struggle for the territory that constitutes a "small incursion." This should calm things down, unless the warmongers want to join the Ukrainians in a fight on Russia's border, which is in my mind the height of folly, totally, completely, and utterly insane. It was a local conflict that had been festering for decades. Putin miscalculated by turning it into a wider war. If he had simply kept it as a struggle for eastern Ukraine or Luhansk and Donetsk, perhaps things would have been much different. Why weren't we so incensed when he went after Georgia or Crimea? Because Obama kept the lid on the propaganda and the warmongering. Putin has made it clear that Ukraine involves Russia's strategic national interests This is a phrase the significance of which seems lost on the addled, mentally defective Biden administration.
