No offense intended here. I want to cooperate and follow the TOS. But, you are wrong! We have all read about the various things that Putin has said and done during the run up to this moment. He is aggressive, deceitful, and clearly looking for other victims. It is starting to be clear that he miscalculated the will of Ukraine, and the World.
And, he is deep flashing the escalation of more and more consequential military moves in an effort to control the rest of us. WE DON'T WANT A WAR. The UN wanted to talk, as long as it took. But, this pr*ck had no intentions of doing anything other than what he ultimately did. It has NOTHING to do with "rhetoric." It has to do with Putin's ambition and expansionism and a return to power and glory--FOR HIM, not Russia. He apparently doesn't care about Russia.
You think that Putin is upset over NATO? How can I scream this loudly enough? If he takes Ukraine, he will have an awesome array of NATO countries right there at his new border; and then, he will complain and whine about THOSE countries. Hey, he knows what he is doing. We all sure as shit know what he is doing! And, it doesn't fly, it won't fly, and he is finding that out.
There is that old saying: If you find yourself in a hole you can't get out of, quit digging! Just saying. He is going from bad to worse, thinking he can handle it. Well, he can't!
Ukraine,
