Thugs, a bunch of bleeping thugs. From the top ~ Putin ~ down. What a sad, sad crew of people. And to think so many people idolize(d) them. And just to further eff things up they'll set their thug juniors loose.

The schoolyard bully has kicked around a not too close but new friend that we told not to take the bait, but he is a friend nonetheless. If the bully keeps kicking this friend when he's down we need to decide if we'll break it up which will lead to the possibility we're in the fight too.

Spence, yep - rhetoric. Not too much we could do militarily there without the OK from Turkey anyway (not that moi is advocating a kill 'em all and let god sort 'em out). But something needs to be figured out or who is next in line? Russia wants something and they've been flexing their muscles a bit for a while. We're still the class if the schoolyard.
