27. But, here's the thing
Thu Feb 24, 2022, 06:56 PM
Feb 2022

By the time we commit (meaning, take it all in, figure it out, get together, complain to the UN and NATO) and then mobilize (meaning make a war plan, decide who is going to go where, move our troops and equipment, and actually get there) it will be OVER.

We should have moved thousands upon thousands of troops to both Poland and the Baltics, but instead we trickled in a few here and there. We sat and watched while we very well knew--as did all the EU--that Pewtin was setting up to invade Ukraine. We knew this. But, we did nothing but call emergency meetings in the UN Security Council, which Russia controls, write up nasty documents of condemnation, and beg the Russian Asshole to please not do this rotten thing. They don't even have the courage to kick Russia's Ambassador out of the United Nations.

NATO meets on Friday. We will see what they say (hopefully.) But, if they don't want an occupied Poland, they better move fast. And, I have little faith in Russian Oligarchs, or anyone's Oligarchs, to stop a war. They are probably preoccupied figuring out how to keep Russia from that Swift sanction.

Putin won't reverse anything. And, he certainly can't bring back all the dead people. It's over for them. Eff Putin and anyone who supports him.
