Putin appears to be having a psychotic phase and appears to be trying to start resurrecting the Soviet Union by taking Ukraine by force.
-
The Romney-Obama exchange in 2012 was a point in which President Obama set the stage for ongoing détente with Putin in the face of clear Russian hostile actions.
-
Very disturbing was Obama’s: ‘I’ll have more flexibility after the election’.

2-27-2022: German Chancellor Olaf Scholz:
“Yesterday (2-26) we decided that Germany will deliver weapons to Ukraine to defend themselves. Putin’s aggression meant we cannot give any other response,” he added.
Scholz also revealed he would raise the proportion of Germany's economic output spent on defence to 2%, and allocate 100 billion euros ($112 billion) to its armed foces, in order to modernize and better equip the country's army -- a significant expansion of German defense spending.

Ukraine crisis: Russia orders troops into rebel-held regions of Ukraine
https://www.vox.com/2022/2/21/22944995/russia-vladimir-putin-orders-troops-ukraine-east-donbas
-
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60468237
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered troops into two rebel-held regions in eastern Ukraine, after recognizing them as independent states.
-
This speech was Putin the angry, impatient and directly threatening. It felt like Russia's president was getting 20-odd years of hurt off his chest and hitting back.
"You didn't want us to be friends," was how he put it to the West, "but you didn't have to make an enemy of us."
He's clearly ceding no ground on his key security demands: Nato expansion must be rolled back, and Ukrainian membership is a red line. He complained that Russia's concerns had been ignored as irrelevant for years and accused the West of trying to "contain" Russia as a resurgent global force.
Mr Putin's focus on Ukraine felt obsessive, like a man who thinks about little else.
And, of course, there was his re-writing of Ukrainian history, to claim it has never really been a state. In today's context, that had deeply ominous overtones.

Flashback: Romney calling Russia 'our number one geopolitical foe' prompted media onslaught in 2012
https://www.foxnews.com/media/flashback-romney-russia-foe-2012#
(may have to copy-paste link into browser to view fox article)
CNN writer issues mea culpa in light of Putin invasion of Ukraine: 'It's time to admit it: Mitt Romney was right'
Nearly 10 years ago, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney scolded his future opponent for telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev he'd have more "flexibility" toward the country after his election.
"This is to Russia, this is, without question, our number one geopolitical foe," he told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on March 26, 2012. "They fight every cause for the world’s worst actors. The idea that [President Barack Obama] has some more flexibility in mind for Russia is very, very troubling, indeed."

Mandatory bicycle helmet law revoked in Seattle for racial equity
https://www.theblaze.com/news/seattle-mandatory-bicycle-helmet-law-racial-equity
In 1993, King County passed the law that requires all bicyclists to wear helmets. The law was expanded to explicitly include Seattle in 2003.
The law was enacted to decrease the severity of bicycling incidents.
"Their analysis found that black riders were nearly four times as likely to be cited by police for not wearing a helmet while biking compared to white riders," the analysis reads. "Further, in Seattle, nearly half of the citations issued for biking without a helmet were given to people living homeless."
-
-
It’s of interest that the statisticians didn’t count the total number of bike-riders that Did and Did-Not wear helmets and record their race and address!
Numbers don’t lie But statisticians Do!
-
Perhaps 75% of the bike riders that were Not wearing helmets were minorities and half of them were homeless!
What's the chances of that?
Who paid their fines?
Who pays their doctor-hospital bills?
How many work-days did they miss?
So much for ‘racial equity’!

Biden, who can’t read his own mind, has read Putin’s mind and concluded that the Russian’s will invade Ukraine very soon.
Why is he making statements like this? Is he now a ‘bad-news-copy-boy’?

US Fossil-Fuels are helping off-set Putin’s use of fuels to extort and intimidate the EU and NATO countries.
http://roanokeslant.blogspot.com/2018/07/germanys-merkel-fell-under-gores.html
These countries followed the Gore, Greta, Kerry piedpipers of AGW-Alarmism truncating their historic mix of energy supplies way before their so called ‘renewables’ can sustain their energy requirements.
An energy folly being followed by many US states, especially Black-Face Northam’s Virginia.

To understand the strategic benefit of U.S. fossil fuels, consider how liquefied natural gas exports are riding to the rescue of Europe in the Ukraine crisis. Bloomberg reports that on Saturday all seven U.S. LNG export terminals had tankers docked or loading for the first time, with much of the gas headed to Europe.
