#6 I think we should throw the Rooskis a curve ball, run the ol' razzle-dazzle on 'em. I think *we* should invade the Ukraine.

The Russians will be taken by surprise, as will the Ukrainians. But Joe and Hunter probably know some guys who know some guys who can make the 'invasion' more like an exercise. Besides, we need to do something with the troops and equipment we are withdrawing from elsewhere.

#7 ^ Hmm, that's creative thinking. But I think the Ukrainian play is (1) to promise to vote Democrat in perpetuity (2) apply to become the 51st state (or 53rd after DC and Puerto Rico).

#8 ^^ PLUS we get that warm-weather port we need on the Black Sea. Win-Win!

#11 And if the Russians have any smarts -- and boy do they -- they'll time the assault to coincide with the Floyd verdict. And put Antifa flags on the lead vehicles.
