(despite how much Hubshite and Joe love him)Vladimir Putin is (still) a thug

“My basic take remains: Putin is a thug; Ukraine is more or less blameless
in all this; Donald Trump should be ashamed of himself; ditto for much of
the Republican Party and its poltroonish "Putin is only doing this because
Biden is weak" crap; every Western country should toss out Russian
nationals and restrict visitor visas to one week; Europe needs to get more
serious about military power; this is the first major European war in which
one country has invaded another with the intent of permanently taking its
territory.

Russia under Putin is a pariah nation. Whatever else you can say about the
US invasion of Iraq—and you can say plenty—it was never an attempt to annex
territory permanently. This is. Russia needs to be isolated from the rest
of the world as long as it pursues this kind of war.”
