If it is not WW III, then it is the step up to WW III. For sure, Michael, it is not a step up to anything but WW III.

Yes, I hope the story peters out before more people die. But everything so far is nothing but the setup of a World War. If Putin does not back down (or the Russians pull him down), and turn Russia into a democracy, then there is just one route to get them out of Ukraine.

The Russian fascists shall not win.
