Ukraine Invaded By Russia ("Special Military Operation")

I really don't have anything profound to say about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It is horrible and I am glad that even trollish leaders like the Hungarian fascist have found a reason to oppose Putin here. The future is unclear but dark.

The whole thing in a fashion was like the Supreme Court nomination since it was a slow walk to the inevitable as people kept on asking what President Biden will/could do to address Russian troops collecting outside of Ukraine. You know, for totally legitimate reasons, like stopping Nazis in a country led by a Jew with family members who were victims of the Holocaust. Some articles here.

I recall watching the attempt to overthrow Gorbachev around thirty years ago. Now, we get to see and discuss things minute to minute on Twitter. One can debate how far we truly have gone. I will just put it out there, something that should be brought up over and over again -- the leader of Ukraine is the same guy Trump was impeached trying to blackmail. Republicans just enabled him while saying (at times) how naughty he was.
