    Putin is not stupid. He knows if he launches one nuke, he better launch twenty, because there's gonna be ten fold of that headed his way in that scenario. You are spot on.

    If you drill into the tweet it is tagged as American Military, but who knows how accurate that is.

    But based on the flight pattern, it looks like it landed and took off in various spots, which to me indicates they were either picking up or dropping off something.

    Air power is overated in a building to building fight unless you are going to flatten the city.

    If they go hand to hand, the Ukraine might be able to kill enough Russians destroy enough vehicles and tanks to force them to the bargaining table.

    The last thing we want is Russia to leave, restock and do it again.

    EDIT - well crap looks like they want to flatten the city, those guys need SAMs badly.

    I for one am not ready for a nuclear Holocaust. While I’m a good sized human unlike our short squatty conservative friends. That doesn’t seem like a good world for people with cancer.

    Former President Poroshenko out there, surprised he didn't leave being a wealthy businessman.

    Freezing Putin's assets, could effect the 2022 elections with all his money he spent on GOP candidates suddenly frozen.

    Granted two wrongs do not make a right, but does anyone actually think that this Russian invasion is worse than Dubya's invasion of Iraq?

    I suppose if some of the folks who seem to be rooting for house to house fighting in Kiev and other cities get there way it could approach the carnage in Iraq.

    Did I miss where Germany is being attacked? Or where NATO is lacking resources? What does Germany's defense spending have to do with anything here? If they were spending 2% of their GDP on NATO, would Russia have decided not to attack Ukraine?
