Sounds like ww3 is pretty inevitable, then.
Given enough time, another "world war" is pretty much a sure thing unless:
- We get invaded by aliens (from outer space) first
- We migrate off planet Earth first
- Another global catastrophe got the human race first (pandemic, climate change, mad science gone bad, big meteor, etc.)

Yes, that was the shift in the conversation this week.
The democrats must keep the war option on the front page until after the election.
If that’s your story and it makes you feel better about then stick with it. It’s still entirely Putin’s war and his doing until such time he is no longer in the Kremlin.

Nuclear bomb detonates in Paris. Americans wonder what effect this will have on the mid-terms.

Maybe you missed it
The democrats are now using this war as their #1 talking point
Mr. Biden is a war hero
Mr. Putin is a bad guy and Mr. Biden is protecting the world. Most of the guys pushing this story couldn't pick Mr. Putin out of a lineup.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Key Russian blunder - they did not secure Antonov Airport outside Kyiv.

What is the source of this “intelligence”?

War crimes?
National security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday that the war crimes committed by Russian forces in Ukraine were part of President Vladimir Putin’s master plan for the invasion.
“We, in fact, before the war began declassified intelligence and presented it,” Sullivan said on ABC’s “This Week,” “indicating that there was a plan from the highest levels of the Russian government to target civilians who oppose the invasion, to cause violence against them, to organize efforts to brutalize them in order to try to terrorize the population and subjugate it. So this is something that was planned.”
Russia’s recent retreat from areas near Kyiv left behind massive evidence of atrocities, particularly in Bucha, where civilians who had been executed, many with their hands tied behind their backs, were found through the area.
On top of that, Russia has targeted civilian sites throughout the war, with airstrikes on hospitals and places where refugees have congregated.
“The images that we’ve seen out of Bucha and other cities have been tragic, they’ve been horrifying,” Sullivan told host Jonathan Karl. “They’ve been downright shocking, but they have not been surprising.”
