Meanwhile, it's a good day to Walk the Dog.

Looks to me more like he's wagging it.

Everybody needs to relax, peace on the way.

Too early for Ukrainian and Russian delegations to do anything useful. China/Taiwan have not yet played their role...

Shan't. You seem like too nice a fellow.

Belshazzar's tale -- and end -- in Daniel is why one should always "take heart." I find it so interesting that the "invisible hand" which writes on the palace wall in that tale is mirrored by Adam Smith's observation of that "invisible hand" which market forces exhibit, even when "economists" and politicians try to ignore the messages. There are Daniels who seem to be reading and rightly interpreting the unintelligible in our own day. Take heart. Fear not.

He’s a paranoid psychopath. The worst kind.

It’s not Joe’s half-baked effort, it’s Europe and our allies (with us tagging along at the end) blocking Russia from access to the SWIFT financial system. As Trump mentioned at cpac, that move could cripple an economy.

“The Third World War”, Gen. Sir John Hackett, interesting at the time.

2 points.

If he was winning, would he feel the need to do this?

This threat has diminishing returns over time.

“Everybody needs to relax, peace on the way. Defense build up 2.0 coming up for all the players. Stocks ripping up this week.”

I must wonder if Putin is about to do something unbelievably bad to put his nuclear force on alert.

Hopefully Zelenskiy does not take part in that delegation since Putin put his nuclear forces on alert. I can see Putin killing his own people to take out Zelenskiy.

I am sure England was thinking peace was on the way when they held talks with Hitler before WWII.

So they can attack us via cyber but not the other way around.

Bizarre thinking.

War is about winning.

The west has deluded itself by thinking that sending weapons isn’t war. Sanctions are war. Offering assistance is war. Politicians insanely think it is a more civilized way to battle; it may be a different battlefield but it is war nonetheless

History proves this out... hello RMS Lusitania.

General William Tecumseh Sherman had a quote, “War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.”

Putin *may* be mad, or he is waging a whole different war than the West has become accustomed to.

We better not just write him off as insane, or we will be caught flat footed if Putin is following the advice of another Civil War general....”Get there firstest with the mostest” - Bedford Forrest.

Stark Raving Mad...

Caligula Putina has been having a very bad week and is embarrassed just like Hillary was in 2016. All was supposed to go according to plan, but the Sovereign Lord of the Universe smiled and said “absolutely not”...
