I truly thought that KGB son of a bitch would take the sure thing with Belarus and draw back. Instead he's opened Europe's largest war since 1945 and openly signaled that in his ideal world Ukraine will no longer exist and he's doing his best in Russian style to make his ideal world come true. This is one of the biggest slaps at the post-1991 order since the USA invaded Iraq in 2003, and the consequences are going to be equally, if not more profound. The premise that war is folly, economically and culturally self-destructive and marching societies to their destruction is true at a rational level, and yet Russia and its madman in Moscow have shown that it does not care. Not even two days ago Putin declared that the existence of all the former SSRs as independent states was a great historical atrocity against Russia.
Now he's shown he's a man of his word and intends to add Ukraine to Belarus in the list of former SSRs he's establishing the Russian knout over once more to try to resurrect the fallen empire of 1914 in his image and in his likeness.
All bets are off now, and whatever happens is in the hands of the Ukrainian and Russian armies and in NATO's, in a broader sense.
