                  How long before the (inevitable) fall of Ukraine, two weeks? Three?

                      We have a pretty large Russian community here in my neighborhood too.

                      I don't think he will try for the Baltics. At least not yet. That's coming up against NATO. But then I didn't think he'd try to take Ukraine either.

                              Tentatively, yes.

                              But I guess at the end of the day we will continue our journey into self-chosen dependence and irrelevance.

                                    That’s the biggest advantage they have over the Ukrainians. There were requests for the US to at least enforce a no-fly zone.

                                    I heard a retired Colonel that was sent to the Ukrainian forces that n the late 90’s. He likened them to the Orcs from LotR. A bunch of big ugly guys that like to drink a lot and fight more. He also said there is an extreme amount of racism between the Ukrainians and the Russian Ukrainians. He predicts a quick initial fall and a long guerrilla campaign. He described Putin as the dog that finally catches the car…

                                        Should be noted that, unlike Ukraine, the Baltics are members of NATO. Not sure if that changes the dynamic, but "an attack on one is an attack on all."
