Russia & Ukraine

I don't disagree with the statement that Russia is in a major crisis and Putin has led them there.

The rest of your statement is hyperbolic and subjective, and evidence of a lack of Russian history knowledge.

Tell me more then. I am all eyes. Where will the sanctions and cut economic ties to the west lead Russia? How does Russian history inform us of failed Russian invasions and economic catastrophe?
 
Um...Moldova's GDP is $11B and the Ukraine is like 150B. GDP per capita is also the second lowest in Europe, right behind Kosovo. Though Ukraine isn't much better.

So are you saying Moldova is next up for invasion? Do go on record here and share your wisdom. Because it would be nice to know in advance, as we've already established - you are always right.

In the current state of affairs, no, Moldova is safe. Was Moldova on the menu, well if we take Putin’s speech and claims of rights over all former Soviet bloc states and the invasion map shared Lukashenko then I’d give it more likely than not a week or so ago. Preponderance of evidence is there and there is no reason to refute it other than “I doubt it.”
 
They are stuck in the muck that all modern-day occupiers find themselves in. Best Putin can hope for is to negotiate the disputed territory of eastern Ukraine, and even that will prove to be a pyrrhic victory.

Yep. Except it is worse than that. It is military bureacratic muck. Not sure they would not still be stuck there regardless of the weather/mud. Always nice to have fuel and food with you when you are on the road. Not the Ruskies strong point.

Plus a good portion of their army is more or less happy to be stuck there. Not anxious to engage the "enemy" ie slaughter civilians in Kviev. Stuck in a traffic jam works fine for them. The commanding officers? Well, probably no Christmas bonus for them.
 
Romney supported it.Trump said he supported it on The Howard Stern show.
Of course the Howard Stern show was months ahead of the Iraq war and he only said "I guess" when Stern asked him. ---Hardly a ringing endorsement. ---Early in the war he denounced the conflict.
