Ok, after years of warnings were ignored and hearing "Garry, you were right!" all damn day today, I'll repeat what I said in 2014: Stop telling me I was right and listen to what I'm saying now. My recommendations follow:
-Support Ukraine militarily, immediately, everything but boots on the ground. All weapons, intel, cyber.
-Bankrupt Putin's war machine. Freeze & seize Russia's finances & those of him and his gang.
-Kick Russia out of every intl & financial institution. PACE, Interpol, etc
-Recall all ambassadors from Russia. There is no point in talking. The new unified message is "stop or be isolated completely".
-Ban all elements of Putin's global propaganda machine. Turn them off, shut them down, send them home. Stop helping the dictator spread lies & hate.
-Expose and act against Putin's lackeys in the free world. If Schröder and his ilk continue to work for Putin, bring charges. Ask the owners & advertisers of networks platforming Putin propagandists like Carlson why they allow it.
-Replace Russian oil & gas. Pressure OPEC, increase production, reopen Keystone. You can't save the planet if you don't save the people on it.
-Acknowledge there will be costs, sacrifices. We waited to long, the price is high, but it will only get higher. It's time to fight.
Cannot ignore the political 5th column of Putinists, from the far right & left in EU to the tankies & Trump & his GOP followers in the US. They may have the right to support a brutal dictator's war in order to criticize Biden, but it's disgusting and anti-American. Do not forget.

"The president is here." President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine posted a video on social media showing him standing alongside other government officials, saying that the country’s leaders had not fled Kyiv as Russian forces entered the city. https://t.co/VPxc01QGAG pic.twitter.com/F91xlEp7we

A third of BTGs, is not a third of total forces arrayed. Have to be clear what we're ballparking.

As Putin besieges Kyiv, it's worth looking at how journalists are documenting war. Today's thread includes context, useful resources and reporting on the ground

Here's how front pages in are documenting the invasion, from @novaya_gazeta to @lesoir and @libe pic.twitter.com/hwWtjnwPij

That is an impressive promise. Even if Russia occupies Ukraine, keeping Zelensky alive in the French embassy, free to broadcast, will be a serious thorn in Russia's side. https://t.co/xmIF7xAfmi

Zelenskiy aide says Ukraine plans to discuss a ceasefire with Russia (if talks take place tomorrow). "A neutral status with a comprehensive package of security guarantees is also an option that might be on the table" https://t.co/KIcZmlMOcm

Bulgaria will ban flights into the country operated by Russian airlines and will close its airspace to all Russian aircraft from Saturday, the country's transport ministry has said. The ministry said the move was a result of the escalation of the military conflict and as a sign of solidarity with Ukraine
