Great reasoning here James! Kissenger, at 98, is apparently beyond the age of reasoning. Giving in to invaders is losing. Russia is a powerful adversary, but it is time to continue the pressure to generate internal strife within the ruling cadre. Maybe a few of them will get Putin removed and then take it out amongst themselves -- hopefully eliminating the violent ones. Russia needs to be kept isolated for years -- not just until the fighting is over. There's another probable/potential adversary -- China -- that needs to see a united lesson in operation.

James always gives a thought provoking, insightful view of world events.
