No idea if this is the latest thread on the Ukraine war..probably isn't, but I'm not sure that matters.

This statement seems to be both significant and has been coming.

On the one hand probably makes peace and more stability in Europe more likely. On the other, it basically says Putin can take a bite out of another country and get away with it.
