    Don't blow it, China.

    I understand the US is meeting with China this weekend to deliver a message: "If you interfere to negate the impact of the sanctions, you will be next."

      And Puten is asking China for help with military equipment. It's been less that three weeks.

      Do not hire Puten to plan your wedding.

      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        Back in the USSR.

        Angry over invasion of Ukraine and fearing crackdown, Russians trying to move abroad crowd into few remaining trains and planes

        The sanctions target oligarchs and leading Russian politicians, but they’re also expected to have a severe impact on ordinary Russians. They have already prompted long lines at ATMs in Russia, and the government has introduced limits on the sale of certain “socially significant goods” such as sugar, cooking oil, flour and pasta. When Swedish furniture giant IKEA announced that it was pulling out of Russia, its stores were swept bare of everything from bookshelves to sausages.

          That's a hell of a clearance sale, IKEA.

                    Optimistic take from a disciplined realist and specialist who knows what he's talking about. Putin must be furious at his military advisors and Russia will have to sue for peace in the coming weeks. Almost zero chance of nuclear war.

                      That's a decent analysis. It seems like an escalation of some sort happens soon. Short of a major escalation, I feel like Russia will fight a war of attrition long term, and slowly decimate Ukraine, city by city.
