I agree that 2014 was the inch that Putin took, that emboldened him to try to take a mile in 2022. 

 

And too much reliance on Russian energy is true as well. Many mistakes made along the way in terms of curtailing and containing Putin, but ultimately, the responsibility for the invasion and all the death falls firmly in his quarter.

100% in regards the responsibility part. If anything this is a massive wake up call for all the NATO members that it’s time to spend and build up the armed forces again rather than living in complacency and hiding under the US umbrella. As is the case here a Politicians timespan is limited, there’s always been a strong isolationist element in the US look at WW2 and the likes of Lindbergh. Definitely dangerous times.

Odds on Musk turning off Ukraine's Starlink capability at some point to help with Trump's 'negotiations'?

It’s naive to assume Trump has betrayed Ukraine

Jibes about Trump being hoodwinked by the evil demon Putin are juvenile

Some sensible analysis of the reality of the situation.

For all the armchair generals ,  there’s a lot of current and ex members of the armed forces out there with a very low opinion of a man and a system who spent a lot of time defending terrorists and chasing down guys over trumped up BS charges.

thrown to the wolves how the Times put it, remember Trump knows nothing about fighting, having his family money meant an expensive doctor could get him signed off from Vietnam with a 'bone spur', this genuine reason to avoid conscription must have got better with age, as it's not stopped him doing many miles on the golf course.
