It should be pretty obvious by now that, barring nuclear weapons, Russia mounts no threat to NATO at all. This ain’t the USSR and it’s Red Army of a hundred armored divisions.

Giving Putin a bloody nose in Ukraine is fine with me, but let’s be honest: Biden and the media want to keep milking this war right up to the election, so Biden can distract everyone from domestic disasters and posture as a latter day Churchill.

So far as the calculus of the election goes any actions by the Democrats right now is irrelevant. The numbers are just not in their favor and there’s too many things they can’t change between now and November.

Still, It makes good sense to wear out the Russians in Ukraine as opposed to dealing with them when they try to make a move on Finland or Estonia or some other place.

My personal hope is that Putin gets overthrown and we get a regime in Russia that’s interested in being a part of the world. I really miss the optimism of the 1990’s.
