- Vladimir Putin’s escalation of his invasion into Ukraine – bombing residents and medical facilities – has been accompanied by his escalation of rhetoric, issuing nuclear threats against the outside world. Those of us who spent part of our school aged life in hallway drills on floors, heads between knees, pretty much practicing at kissing our asses goodbye, might have concerns.
Infidel753 has uncommonly good sense and does his homework on international affairs of consequence. He provides two reasons for unpanicked calm.
- At The Moderate Voice governance and policy scholar Michael Blake contrasts leadership styles of Zelenskyy and Putin. Seems you don’t need to be a strongman to be a great leader.
- Sarah Cooper asks the one question Putin seems not to have considered:

- Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger has four photos illustrating how the world puts their support of Ukraine into lights.
- Getting serious: The Journal of Improbable Research takes a moment from their constant search for strange studies and, instead, points out a whole lot of prominent scientific, religious, and political leaders in support of Ukraine.
- John Scalzi at Whatever dates the Post-Cold War Era as beginning on November 9, 1989 when the USSR became the gone-USSR. Now, as the world reacts to Putin madness, John sees any number of demonstrations of the beginning of a new Post-Post-Cold War Era.

- Green Eagle watches as a famous political personality, often referred to as a one time president, is asked about Ukraine and bravery. The large green bird contrasts the fellow’s answer with the answer had he been truthful.
- Vixen Strangely at Strangely Blogged is unsympathetic to the view of former Trump advisor Douglas MacGregor, as aired for Fox viewers. MacGregor thinks America is being way too harsh, that we should stop demonizing Vlad Putin.
- M. Bouffant at Web of Evil does not think highly of Tulsi Gabbard. Well… Tulsi may not be perfect. But who among us has not attacked America as responsible for Putin’s invasion and opposed any sanctions on Russia’s economy generally or Putin’s friends specifically?
Okay, okay, she’s acting like a bit of a crud. But she still has a ways to go before surging ahead of Tucker Carlson or Ted Cruz for the title of Jerk of the Year.
- Hackwhackers takes on Ted Cruz, exposing him to his own comments in which he lavished praise on superior-to-US Russian troops.
- Any funding effort has the potential to attract grifters. If you want to contribute safely to some aspect of the Ukrainian relief, tengrain at Mock Paper Scissors has done the hard research and provides useful guidance. Good trailblazing from a wonderful blogger.
