But....from what I am reading, without NATO, its still only a matter of time that he will take the country, and the capital.

Even if he has to flatten and bomb the country to rubble.

I hope I am wrong and Ukrainians plus foreign volunteers, plus military equipment brought in from other countries, plus Russian people being squeezed by sanctions plus more information leaking in.......that Putin will be forced to leave with his tail between his legs.

But I think it will be like watching a horror movie in slow motion over the next month or two.

I also think that NATO is making a mistake. Putin has already entered WW3. They must stop Putin now. If he gets his way, other authoritarian regimes will be more inspired with NATO's display of paralysis in the face of such blatant war crimes.

that there is no longer any Soviet state, (Also there is no communism there, even INO - so "Comrade" is also ionappropriate.) What Putin has in Russia is more like a Russian Orthodox Taliban ... which is one reason the GQP finds him so congenial.

They're both symbols of oppressive, murderous police states, and they have an emotional impact that "Russian Orthodox Taliban" doesn't.

"Democrats don't know how to message" is overblown, but one part where it often rings true is the elevation of the wonkish need for accuracy over telling the story you want to tell in ways people will remember. Wonkishness is a necessary thing, but not everywhere all the time. Especially not in advertising/persuasion/promotion/etc.

how superior "Putin's Christian Values" are to the degenerate left (their language, not mine.) I think we need to respond powerfully.

I have very mixed feelings on this decision. But if our elected leaders think that creating one will push putin over the edge, they are wrong. He's already THERE. And I doubt that he will allow an exit that doesn't make him lose face, so . . .

We WILL get dragged into this one way or another, mark my words.
