If there is no response at all, maybe the next “accidental” attack will be deeper into Poland, or on a Polish power station or water station, or “accidentally” hitting Polish troops. I’m not suggesting that this was an intentional attack, but it is an interesting way to test international resolve against Russian aggression.

Crosshairs 10/12/22
I’ve been wondering how the war will end, barring nuclear holocaust and assuming the success of the Ukrainian forces. Assuming that the Ukraine is successful in pushing the Russians out of the Ukraine, all the way back to the Russian border. What then?
Ukraine 9/22/22
When I say that Putin is now fighting the war on a second front, I mean one of popularity. On his announcement of the “reserve” fighter activation, hundreds of people were arrested for protesting across Russia.

War and Pride 3/3/22
As Russia learned in Afghanistan (as we had to learn ourselves), defeating a country’s army does not mean an end of the war. Ukrainian citizens will likely take up arms and resist Russia as w
Iron Curtain 2/26/22
Today (as of the writing of this blog) Ukrainian President Zelenskyy warned of a new “iron curtain” falling across Europe. For many years, this term struck me as odd, and I didn’t really understand just what the iron curtain was.

Because Trump is the de facto leader of the Republican party, this raises the question of where the Republican party, including senators, representatives, governors and so on are going to support Russia in these developments even as US troops are in harm’s way to help protect the Ukraine.

there may be a few minor clashes, and maybe cyber attacks and the like, but I believe their build-up is just a political game.
