There is starting to make no difference on which side of the aisle the comments are coming from, those old MIGS seem to be destined to be delivered, but probably too late in the game to make an impact. That old saying "he who hesitates is lost" is an appropriate one for this scenario.

It's getting very dicey near the polish border. Poland is a NATO member; so if Putin attacks targets in Poland, then we ( along with the other powerful NATO countries) had better use "whatever" means necessary to end this thing in short order 
Two big sets of nuts
Nut??…Why? Famous athletes that stand and fight for their native country. Yes they really won't make a difference on the battle as it's not a boxing ring but leadership and role models matter especially when you are famous. Think Jimmy Stewart and Clark Gable and others in WWII. Seems like they are patriots IMO.
Google FDR's son, James Roosevelt.

Nathan Bedford Forrest "Get there first with the most!" Russians did just that. Hate to say it though.

He was Carlson's XO in the 2nd Raider Battalion.
As an aside: Evans Carlson had three Navy Crosses.

Navy Cross and Silver Star. A now-deceased church brother was Donald Jones, who was a corporal in the Raiders. He had only respect for Roosevelt, who had a number of physical issues but still always carried his own weight.

I read a very long article in the Guardian (British) newspaper this morning. Distilling it down to its basics, the military analyst who wrote it said that the Ukraine affair can end in only one of two ways - either nuclear war or capitulation of Ukraine to the Russians. But it may take awhile to find out which and by what means. The article was very convincing.

Wiki:
After Japan's Attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, Roosevelt was seated next to his father when the President delivered his Infamy Speech. He requested assignment to combat duty and was transferred to the Marine Raiders in January 1942, a new Marine Corps commando force, and became second-in-command of the 2nd Raider Battalion under Evans Carlson (Carlson's Raiders) whom Roosevelt knew when Carlson commanded the Marine detachment at the Warm Springs, Georgia, residence of his father. Roosevelt's influence helped win presidential backing for the Raiders—influenced by the British Commandos—which were opposed by Marine Corps traditionalists.
Despite occasionally debilitating health problems, Roosevelt served with the 2nd Raiders at Midway in early June 1942 and in the Makin Island raid on August 17–18, 1942, where he and 22 others were awarded the Navy Cross. In October, he was given command of the new 4th Raiders, but during training for an upcoming combat operation he became ill enough to be hospitalized by February 1943.[13] Beginning in August 1943, he served in various staff positions for the duration of the war. He was attached to and landed with the U.S. Army's 165th Regimental Combat Team, 27th infantry Division during the invasion of Makin on November 20–23 and was awarded the Silver Star by the army.[14] He was promoted to colonel on April 13, 1944. He was released from active duty in August 1945 and was placed on the inactive list in October 1945. That same month he became a Compatriot of the Empire State Society of the Sons of the American Revolution.
Roosevelt continued in the Marine Corps Reserve and retired on October 1, 1959, with the advanced rank of brigadier general.[12] Roosevelt suffered from flat feet, and was allowed to wear sneakers while other Marines were required to wear boots.[15]
I took Ladder13's comment to be two guys with huge cojones, not that they were a couple of nuts.
Fair enough….

Reports today indicate Russia
is seeking more military
equipment from China.
I had seen reports during
last week that Russia had
expended most of its
sophisticated conventional
tactical armaments.

So far everything about the Russian military has been greatly over rated, except their brutality.
I thought so too. Took no offense.
