so stupid it came to this....was totally avoidable...

At his point making predictions is a guessing game....but i think Putin is super calculated here; he will not touch the baltics...or any other Eastern bloc NATO countries.

This is reciprocity for NATO expansion, plain and simple. Discarding Putin's perspective of his perceived security threat I think will be judged by history as a gigantic mistake...

It can be reversed if written assurance of no Ukraine NATO membership is offered. Pisses me off that in sticking to the "open door" policy, Ukraine is going to pay the highest of prices....

His calculations sure seem delusional.

This has so much bad potential, very scary.

President Vladimir Putin called on Ukrainian soldiers to put down their arms. He said that those who try to interfere with Russia’s actions “must know that Russia’s answer will be immediate, and will lead to such consequences as you never experienced in your history.”

Sounds like a rational human being.

I dont think there can be anymore tip toeing from Washington.

There needs to be significant mobilization in the far eastern NATO members..but of ALL of the NATO members...but carefully of course...we dont want this to spiral unnecessarily out of control.

Putin must NOT mistake any mobilizations as offensive...but instead as defensive.

Parallel to that...ask for a cease fire, a truce, and offer written assurance of no Ukranian membership.

Give Putin room to walk away with a small victory...dont back him into a corner...otherwise he may view this as a zero sum game

I`m too old to run. If anything, I`ll join military. My kids are too young to fight, so it has to be me. I hope it won`t get to that point.

On a separate note, I haven’t been out this morning, have gas prices doubled yet?
