so once the Russians take Kyiv - it'll be a regime change.
The current President - could be arrested...he may flee...or be executed on site.
then we have a regime change and a 'buffer' state for Russia from NATO .
regime change...where have we heard that before?
in any case, all the bravery of the Ukranians aside - they are overmatched by superior Russian military technology and sheer numbers.
make no mistake - the siege of Kyiv is happening now and all we (and the rest of the world) can do is sit and watch.
RE: sanctions.... as per Biden's quote "Wait Another Month or So to See if Sanctions Are Working" - .... Ukraine does not have a month...but that says it all... 'no fucks given'
