And this is what I said.... in this thread when it was started.
And BTW - Lindsey Graham provides a warning that is probably right - Putin may go "scorched earth" in this, and we have to be prepared for that.
If Putin feels he is not going to be successful, he may unleash real firepower and take out whole city blocks down to powder.
And how will the world react to that.
At that point, this would get a lot bigger. And I have ABSOLUTELY NO CONFIDENCE a single person in the Biden administration is even remotely prepared to effectively deal with it. NONE. Certainly not a teetering old man that needs his wifes help to walk off stage.
And that is what is happening now.
Putin has taken the scorched earth approach. And we have no leadership in Washington to take a stand against it. WIthout America, the Europeans have no teeth. Putin isn't worried about them in the least. America is the only real reason he would stop what he is doing. And America is out to lunch.
