    I said earlier I thought we should take in some Ukranian refugees.

    Should we take in some Russian ones, also?

      On Joe Rogan, Dave Smith talks about why Russia invaded Ukraine.

      I have no idea who Smith is, by the way.

          @George-K

          Yes, the risk is high that Putin will deploy one or more tactical nukes. Tomorrow’s annexation of Ukrainian territory will provide the convenient rationale.

          The US and NATO will respond accordingly should a Russian nuclear demonstration occur. The Cold War doctrine of Flexible Response will determine the actions of the Alliance.

                        There's been a fair amount of reporting of Russian casualties - KIA, wounded and others.

                        I haven't seen much about Ukrainian losses lately. Last time I saw anything, there was supposedly a 1:3 ratio between the two forces.

                                        Even funnier- Putin is yet still to figure it out that Russia is very much the junior partner to China in the New Cold War with the West.
