Six months ago Putin was merely in a war of aggression to restore the old Soviet Empire. Today he is in a war to preserve his dictatorial power. He is in a corner and most dangerous.
If this most unfortunately becomes a contest between NATO and Russia he will lose his ass in conventional warfare. It will then go nuclear and there will be no winners.
Our leader if he is our leader is Joe Biden and he is mentally compromised.
We live in most dangerous times. Who really has the finger on our nuclear button. Is it his wife, his staff, etc? Our enemies do not know and this is most destabilizing. Our president is not our president. He can not even read a teleprompter properly and then does not know how to walk off the stage. He is lost.
Here, I’ll throw this log on that fire. We’re in such bad shape.

“Since 2015, Congress has been selling the oil in the reserve to fund the deficit, in unpublicized sales.”
It seems that the Pentagon [likely captured by Big Arms] is in charge of Ukraine Policy.
We may not have anyone with authority to launch. That may be good but it is definitely bad.
If? It already is a contest between Russia and NATO which is why Russia is threatening to go nuclear.
