Prayers that the leader of Russia repents of his lust for empire. It is demonically driven. Prayers for the president of our land and those who serve in the armed forces. May the Lord’s will be done in all things and his all glorious name praised.
Sal, Great quicklook. I'll offer that we should approach Germany like a collector and see if they recognize what bad decisions hath wrought and what they plan to do. We have troops and infrastructure there so we should be circumspect and expect they will be the same, so difficult to gage. I noted they only stopped the inspection of the pipeline, but they did not say it is dead. I wonder if there is any chance of bringing those nuke plants back online.
I love the line "As we’ve discussed here before with the former Soviet republics and Warsaw Pact nations, every village needs a few ATGM militia teams trained to slow any advance through their patch of land." Norway had every private 4x4 registered for the home defense forces.
Your observation on Sweden and Finland are right on point. If there is any paperwork in (or could be manufactured) on Ukraine joining NATO, then my recommendation would be to vote them in at the NATO meeting Friday, while the Ukraine Gov't still exists. I note that Biden said he was going to do more to protect Ukraine. Still no troops probably but what else?
When are we going to a higher DEFCON and moving faster to transport sufficient forces to Europe to deal with the possibility RU goes farther?
Lastly, Let's not forget Belarus in our sanctions, and my personal favorite, suspend the visas of all Russians in the US and territories.
The brilliant, and constantly deceiving, weasel Adam Schiff wants Russia kicked out of SWIFT. That will stop nat gas ro Europe and Russia will retaliate. Of course, he and many WEF/Reset folks, want us in this war.
The current structure, itself, of USG Executive Branch prevents good governance. The structure itself attracts the low-minded and repels the high-minded. The structure itself is a hive of bolt-ons stuck into proximity but not system by flocks of Good Idea Fairies. So its residents become small in mind and focused on complexities they cannot understand or treat rationally.
Before the people are a problem, the very structure they are asked to work in is the problem. Good governance cannot come from this current structure of the USG Executive Branch (ditto the other two Branches, in different ways, but my focus now is in the Executive Branch). Current USG structure is complex and self-annulling. For example, command of US assets overseas remains split between State, Defense, DOJ, Treasury, Agriculture, DHS, and CIA. That is a clear invitation to conflict American interests.
The structure itself of USG, all three Branches, begs radical simplification. I and I am sure others are applying energy to effort to outline the same conceptually. Good governance of The United States requires this action. To those who say no governance of The United States is needful because national sovereignty is a thing of the past, that Global Governance is here through The Great Reset or some other "project," I say, give it your best shot.

Putin's long speech earlier this week gave the rationale for these events. "Western Leaders" revile him because he and Russians returned to Christianity -- aka white privilege, misogyny, racism, homophobia, etc. -- after The Soviet blew away like stale air. Russia traces here origin to Kiev.
I was wrong thinking he would take only the eastern regions. History drove him to restore Ukraine to Russia, where she has been through almost all of history. Note in Putin's speech earlier this week and recent others his taking Lenin to task, and the Soviet, for abusing Mother Russia. I am guessing this is over sooner than later because Ukrainians have not the will for a full-up fight. I am also guessing Putin's soothsayers said as much and this got him to switch from an area annex to a whole of territory annex.
Russians do not consider Ukraine a separate nation because she never has been that until Bill Clinton and his band of merry, promiscuous thieves American and European got in there told some people they were and NATO has their backs.
Everyone now is recalculating their trumps, seeing who can do what and why. That's a good thing, as Sal implies pointing out that reality / history is in our faces now demanding attention, or at least having a good old time herself. Huge forces are at work, the most consequential of them being unseen, and Russia is on God's side, not the devil's.

Taiwan and Japan better be arranging to obtain strategic deterrents tout suite and post haste. South Korea too, probably.
