Biden admin hardening rhetoric, and sanctions now.  Way to go, Joe. 

It is also time for Europe to face up to its collective disregard  for energy independence.
Germany abandoned nuclear for Russian  oil for example.
And we are all hoping Biden and the US will find the success in battling Putin that we found in the decade of the Eighties in bringing about the demise of the evil empire.
These sanctions will take a toll on us so it is high time to get back to thinking of America first and reclaim our leadership in energy production.

Red is ready to invest seriously in wind and solar. Someone should let his congressman know.

I had a roommate in Malibu who was the daughter of a general in China, and we agreed that the secret to peace is that the armies be controlled by men of wisdom and peace. You do not want a young fool in charge of your army, or you will have a blood-bath. You want old wise men in charge of your army. We can have peace if we are wise.

Salute,

Tony V.

MOSCOW (AP) (at apnews.com, Kiid)

 President Joe Biden announced the U.S. was ordering heavy financial sanctions against Russian banks and oligarchs on Tuesday, declaring that Moscow had flagrantly violated international law by invading Ukraine.

I watched the speech live, thanks.

I did not.

A minor league hockey player named Mike Eurizone broke a 3-3 tie with the Soviets in the greatest USA team victory of all time in an Olympic Hockey Game dubbed the Miracle On Ice
By the end of the decade the Soviet Union ceased to exist.
Hope we can rekindle those commitments 40 years later.

Ironically the Build Back Better legislation would have stuck an arrow in Putins neck but the GOP blocked it with the help of fossil fuel slave Joe Manchin

Nice work to bolster the GOP, CDC.

Good of Trump to drive that story off the front page.

RIP Paul Farmer, someone who did some actual good in the world and truly embodied the teachings of Christ.  (he was a proponent of liberation theology)

Putin claimed Ukraine has never been a country.

The US Embassy in Kiev posted this:

For what it is worth Ukraine is part of what my wife refers to as "used to be Poland".

A small part of it. Other parts were occupied by Czechoslovakia and Romania.

My forebears came from a shtetl in Belarus. Their US census listed their birth country. Once it said Poland, once Germany, and once Russia. The city was the same all three times.
