We are going to war. On that I feel certain but not enthusiastic. Putin will push as far as he can until he is met with military push back. Its just how long it takes for this to unfold.
We cannot be deterred by a threat that Russia will do something horrible with whatever weapon of choice they threaten. We cannot let Putin call the shots and still pretend hes not the one in charge.
I dont like that this is the way that I feel, but I see no other alternative. As long as there is a Putin, there will be a threat of destruction.
