This could have all been avoided if we didn't give Putin all the leverage with energy.

I just wonder how long Putin's billionaire cronies indulge him before taking him down. I can't imagine that there aren't a fair number that already are considering the possibility if the chance arose. Putin is bad for business.
He wears a f*cking diaper

The Guardian is questioning Putin's sanity. This isn't some click bait news source run out of a basement. This is a 200 year old newspaper.
I said multiple times that I wondered what Putin's end game was because what he's doing doesn't make sense. It's long been known he was corrupt but he's been thought of as pragmatic. A self-interested but rational and pragmatic person is someone you can at least deal with. The rationality and pragmatism are gone. That's what's worrying me. Is he crazy enough to do something really, really stupid.
I read an interesting take today. Putin gave a bizarre speech in which he asked Ukrainian soldiers to stage a coup against their government. It was conjectured that Putin said that because he's constantly afraid of a coup attempt against him. He jumped to encouraging a coup in Ukraine because a coup is always on his mind. Considering how unhinged he looks, paranoia about a coup would certainly fit.

Stockholm, more densely populated than NYC - sturg
Seriously **** Putin, **** russia, let's hit them where it hurts so they get this ****ing despot out of power. I know the fear is that Putin controls nuke codes, but we have to imagine the majority of russians won't go down with the ship.

This Ukrainian president is something else. I don't think we've had a president with half his stones since Eisenhower.
A guy who is a former comedian and not a military man is doing his damnedest to lead his country to stop a ruthless dictator.

Imagine being so fragile and obsessed that your only post in who knows how long is this?
