It has begun.
Yeah, I thought it was funny---or at least it would be funny if it weren't so damned serious---how they claim they're intervening to protect the two separatist regions in the east of the country, yet they've attacked targets far away from Ukraine's eastern border or far from where the Russians claim to be "protecting" the inhabitants.
Putin's warning to the west was particularly striking. He stopped short of threatening to nuke the US or NATO allies in the event of intervention.
I wonder how long before it's over? I give Ukraine's sovereignty---such as it is---another 72 hours.
