Puzzling? Perhaps not so much so to those who have been acclimated to being bullied and suppressed -- but there does seem to be the beginnings of at least a glimmer of hope from within: the rallies and demonstrations of his own people against him. Sadly, it will take more than that.....

You're right,, Leo -- a lot more than a few thousand souls protesting -- and then getting jailed for '15 years each' = Death Sentence in Russia. (That's what Novalny got). Thanks, gw

Gulping… oh how much hurt this world afflicts. It only takes one man to set the world on fire. Well said, dear friend.

One man to start the fire; thousands to put it out. Talk about 'Inequitable!' ~ Just sayin'

The USA has the world's largest nuclear arsenal which is no deterrent at all when the President is afraid to use it. The Japanese News reported that the only hope is for Russians "to take out" Putin, but even his closest contacts can not get near him . . . .Aloha!

Surprise! We agree 100% here... What good are our nuclear 'arms' when Biden tells the world that he'll never use them -- and unlike Putin, Biden doesn't lie about such stuff. Oh, well... Thanks, Rico. :)

That coward has a ring of steel around him, I wouldn't wish harm on anyone but I'd make an exception in his case. Tom

The least we can do is supply Ukraine to the hilt... Thanks, Tom

G.W., I really feel your frustration, anger and desperation. It's unfortunate that governments have to follow int'l. rules and regulations while dictators can bend anything without remorse. The Ukranian people are brave and resilient, I hope they will overcome this non-human monster!...ab

Thank you for sensing how I feel, Anselmo... You seem to be a realist: We know that Putin is committed to getting what he wants from Ukraine. If he has to level the entire country to do so, he will do so. Putin sees that no country will commit troops to Ukraine, so he can have things his way. Now, after that, who can stop Putin? Ukraine's army is the only battle-tested army between Russia and the Atlantic Ocean. This does not bode well for the world! ~ Frustrated
