We likely have treaties with Russia allowing each other to enter territorial waters to monitor each others' military to prevent mistaken war. 

I think it's hysteria to think the world will doubt America's solidarity with Ukraine and Europe based on this single issue. I'm fine with closing down their access if it doesn't make nuclear war more likely for the reasons speculated about above.

This issue does not qualify as a critical moment. The critical moment was Biden's speech and follow through on devastating economic sanctions.

Isn't Moldova basically a Russian client state already though?

It’s divided like Ukraine with the Russians controlling Transnistria.

The language in that statement sounds strangely familiar. "Fake news, don't trust what you're seeing with your eyes" etc.

It's has the moronic value of Trump, mixed in with the Rudy Guilani's constant bleating about 9/11 (or in this case WW2 Nazi's)

Fifteen percent of Israel speaks Russian currently. Many families there trace their origins back to Russia. So a sizeable minority of people there probably have Russian sympathies and are active in the Israeli government.

It appears Vlad has totally screwed the pooch. He has two options 1) a massive bloodbath and the slaughter of many innocent civilians resulting from the fact that he's going to have to completely destroy Ukraines infrastructure in order to win ---- assuming that is even possible or 2) a humiliating retreat that results in nothing but showing the world that Russia is am impotent power in decline, depleting Russian cash reserves, destroying their economy, and leaving them isolated from the world for the foreseeable future. 

What a fuckup.

I fear a massive civilian bloodbath. When you rule by fear and strength showing weakness is basically a death sentence.

Kewl a bunch of kids with no idea re: mission are dead...

Expand  

Yeah, I feel bad for the Russian invaders.  They're mostly kids who didn't start this and probably would rather not be there.  And they're just following orders and they have moms and dads, too.  I get it.

But I don't understand how anyone who's watched this isn't rooting hard for Ukraine.  A dead invading Russian soldier bothers me a little less than a Ukrainian civilian who didn't ask for this shit.

Seems like Putin trying to assassinate the head of a sovereign nation is opening himself up to fucking around and finding out.

This was my thought as well.  Yesterday it was pointed out that assassinating world leaders is a no go for obvious reasons.  Well if one asshole tries it, then said asshole should be fair game.

I thought the Breaking News tweet was actually quite good. I mean, when you're dealing with the part of the population that sinks their own rally boats, thinks that no testing means no virus, you really need to keep it simple. So kudos to the VP for reaching across the aisle with information.

I can understand that fear, but I don't think the Russian army on the ground will stand for that long.  It's not the same Red Menace that Stalin had.    Even with using missiles and other weaponry of mass destruction, if enough enlisted/conscripted walk off, it will be much harder to complete said atrocities.  He is not controlling the message now, and that is going to do him in at home and in his troops.

How many times have we heard how corrupt Ukraine is?  Burisma?  Hunter Biden?   They have nothing on Abbott and his band of grifters.  But hey, Biden should care as much about Texas' borders as Ukraine's.  Right...right.

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that you're not, personally.  I think just about everyone in the world is except for a misguided minority in Russia and, bizarrely, in America.

But rooting for Ukraine means rooting against Russia.  I don't want those young Russians to die in those caravans; I want those caravans to turn around.  But, since they won't, I'm glad they won't make it to their mission.  Lesser of two evils, I guess.

As much optimism there seems to be on social media, this war is beginning to remind me of Syria where the West has no realistic chance of victory and our further intervention will only serve to escalate the conflict resulting in further destruction of the country. 
 

In the final analysis, imo, the only chance the West had of keeping Russia out of Kiev was to have Kiev tread a much more delicate and neutral path towards Russia following 2014. They simply bit off more than they could chew and we encouraged it at every step along the way.

I’m sorry but this is bullshit.  Putin was invading Ukraine because of his failure there in 2014. Perhaps we could have done more to deter Russia from invading, maybe.

You are not understanding what "victory" is.  The whole world has changed 180 degrees since WW II or whatever Putin thinks "victory  will be.

Putin/Russia may end up holding territory for a brief while, though I don't believe even that is true.  They are going to have to level/annhiliate Ukraine in order to "win"  but that victory is a chimera: they will eventually have to go home but only after showing the entire world how vacuous and immoral their leadership is.

I feel a tad bit of sadness for the ordinary Russian who's just trapped in this and unable to do anything to change it.  But that's just the way it goes. They put up with a madman for way too long, he ended up doing madman things, and  now they'll pay the price for that terrible choice.
