    "Intervene" in what way? Militarily? We've already intervened with sanctions and money and weapons to Ukraine. And we should keep doing that. And as for sending in troops or bombing the Russians, that won't happen unless Putin attacks NATO or does something really, really horrific.

    As for "a quagmire"... I don't think so. I'm seeing signs that this invasion will blow up in their faces in the not too distant future.

    They are having a war because they got invaded. And they were invaded because Putin fears Ukrainian democracy. Those "Russians" inside Ukraine were happier in Ukraine than the Russians in Russia, and Putin knows it. Can't have that.

    Who said that I was a republican? Christian libertarian….almost an anarchist in my loathing of government at all levels. I’m against war except for self defense. I’m for minding our own business. I’m against foreign aid especially to Israel. I have PTSD from in the 80s and I couldn’t see the dead from my aircraft carrier except in my sleep. Still do at times. It dawned on me then those people didn’t do a damn thing to us. Seeing recon photos of the craters in the villages in Lebanon that were left by the USS New Jersey and the bombs from our aircraft.
    So all of you evil bastards beating the war drums the blood is on your collective heads and GOD will settle all accounts. Winston, your 70 years old. Your time on this earth is limited as we are given 70 years for a lifespan. You’re already on borrowed time is it worth gambling with your soul?

    fine, but none of that makes it our business. if democracies want to be democracies, they sometimes have to fight.

    we should also stop buying their oil, and be energy independent like trump wanted.

    This Putin episode, and as near now as we are to Mutually Assured Destruction, should remind us all how dangerous it is to vote for hate-filled lunatics.

    Everyone, especially Ukrainians, should sleep well now, given your keen insight on the situation.
    Really doesn't mean much coming from you, since you see hate-filled lunatics at every turn; when there are none.
