Ukraine Always Get What You Want

That's a great comment you made, TB.

 

Sorry, but all that war gaming and all the sanctions and all these live fire exercises might have helped deter Putin . . . last December, when we already what was coming.

So, Putin's Poodle was the test run for this sort of thing?

 

Ok, what’s the odds before this is over American troops will be using weapons on Russian soldiers or mercenaries?

What are the odds nuclear weapons will be used?

What are the odds the right-wing machine will demand us to send troops into the Ukraine?

Just curious.

 

High
Medium
Who the fuck knows because at it's heart the right-wing machine is full of cowards

 

40%
33% (but probably "tactical")
99.5 as long as Biden is in office

 

New and improved.

 

Boris, goodunov?

 

Wait, I thought the nutters were for Russia? See the recent vote where more than 60 voted against aid for Ukraine.

 

In Ukraine? Low. I think that decision has been made, and Biden is steadfastly, almost implacably, behind it.

Low. Because this is clearly Ukraine's fight. No one is going to get involved directly if they are not prompted/provoked by actions against themselves first, and Russia won't use nuclear weapons unless it's in response to a threat/attack by some other country that it has told and warned to "Keep out of this."

High, after this next phase, which I think will be devastating for Ukraine. But the right can only ask/demand. It doesn't mean that what it wants will happen.
