I’m hopeful that the Ukrainians put up a good fight and hold off the Russians in the immediate term. Short and medium term seem more precarious. Long term, any puppet regime will eventually be ousted. Putin is nearing 70. We’re in the last decade of his reign.
Macron said as much. I wonder what someone like Putin would do if he was ever diagnosed with a terminal illness. Would he just fade to black or go out like a supernova?
If the EU eventually allows Putin to get away with this, meaning he installs a puppet government and then we just go on and pretend nothing happened, he wins. The rest of the EU will fall, one by one.
I hope this fizzles out. This just feels different somehow. I heard reports that Macron observed that Putin has changed markedly in the past two years, more cut off.
A friendly reminder to get the layer of ice off your car roof. I saw three cars with smashed windshields between here and Route 62 on 128 S.
Then I was hit by a sheet of ice from an SUV merging on the highway. Smashed onto my front end and hood, but luckily no damage I can see.
Don’t be that idiot. Thanks.
