It Started. Breaking News. — Andrei Martyanov

Open thread if you are following developments. 

Seems to be going pretty much as Andrei Martyanov and Andrei Raevsky (The Saker) foresaw. Russia appears to be taking down the Ukrainian military at the outset, but difficult to tell much through the fog of war at this point. US and NATO bloviating.

Reminiscence of the Future
It Started. Breaking News.
Andrei Martyanov, former USSR naval officer and expert on Russian military and naval issues.

It's the pathetic financial sanctions that I find amusing. They're going to cut Putin off from 'international capital'.

So they stop Putin transacting in dollars. Then the gas bill comes due and nobody can pay the Russians. So he turns the pipes off. How clever does that 'market based energy supply' look then?

Putin has gone mad, but he understands that the world works in boots on the ground and things you can kick - not electronic impulses.

I hope Putin does turn the gas off. That will really put the cat amongst the pigeons in the EU.

“ Putin has gone mad,”

Democrat talking point… Democrats get what they needed from Putin in that he looks aggressive and evil… will put some sanctions on and more importantly get to keep up their whole “Russia!” schtick…

Our Tom’s a Democrat stooge here with all of this stuff…

I agree. That would be great.

Yep. This will be spun as long as possible to keep eyes off domestic problems. Dems will push the under lip in front of the upper lip to try to look tough. Election is coming…

Russia behaving like the U.S. How dumb is that?

The fear in Greece is that if the Russians are successful, the Turks might pull a similar move on the Greek islands -- you know, swiftly steal what is not yours.

Republicans must be very confused this morning since a big chunk of their base, the bible-thumping-Antisemite evangelicals, back the Russians

May Putin be inspired by Seinfeld's soup nazi.

"No more gas for you!"
