The War in Ukraine remains a global threat to peace and stability

Looking at these

... you would think you were justified in concluding that the Ukraine War has turned strongly against Russia, and on the level of Ukraine's ability to attack economic and energy otinside Russia, that is clearly true. But there is a serious danger here. When Russia's leaders feel that they cannot win a conventional war against Ukraine, their aversion to the risk of attacking NATO assets will decline, and we must also bear in mind that this picture misses the one huge advantage the Russians have, even assuming that they continue to rule out the use of tactical nuclear weapons. And that is that they have a huge stockpile of ballistic missiles, with which they are willingly targeting civilian targets in Ukraine. And the Ukrainians have no effective defense against them, since the only really effective interceptor missiles are American Patriots. And rather than sell these to Ukraine, the US regime decided to expend most of the American stockpile of these weapons asymmetrically against much cheaper drone technology in the war of choice in Iran. 

So, at the same time that Ukraine has pretty clearly acquired a significant technological edge, having essentially stopped all commerce in the Sea of Azov and Black Sea, and greatly reduced Russia's ability to sell oil on the world market, the overall situation in this war is probably more dangerous for the entire world right now than at any time since the Russian full scale invasion in 2023. 

In the US we are focused, with justification, on our domestic crisis; on saving the republic from autocracy. But the reality is that in every year since 2023 we have been closer to a global great power war than at any time since 1945. And if anything, the situation is heating up rather than drawing towards a conclusion. It is widely expected that Putin will launch a second mobilization this Fall. That would not likely change the dynamics in Donetsk, where Russia has been effectively stalled for over three years now. Just throwing more poorly trained (and frequently older) men  into the front lines is unlikely to create a major breakthrough. But this war is seen in Europe as a real threat to the entire post-Berlin Wall stability regime. Whatever one's view of Russia's position and its grievances against NATO, the fact is that the situation is more dangerous to peace and stability than it was in 1948, 1956 or 1968, and there is no end in sight. 

It's long past time to 

IMPEACH, CONVICT AND REMOVE

the madman Trump.
