“Troops, tanks, missiles and warships are on the move. Russian forces, slowly but surely, are surrounding Ukraine on three sides. The picture on the ground suggests that Russian President Vladimir Putin is about to launch a massive, multi-front offensive into a neighboring nation that for eight years has been slipping from his grasp into the hands of the West,” the Washington Post reports. “But the former KGB lieutenant colonel — who has spent his career refining tactics to keep his adversaries off balance and exploit their differences — retains a plethora of options short of starting a full-blown, mass-casualty war that would put his own economy and soldiers at risk.” Nonetheless, from Foreign Affairs: “The third and most likely outcome is a full-scale Russian offensive employing land, air, and sea power on all axes of attack.”

  • Oklahoma Is Finally Trying to Cut Prison Time for Abused Moms
    Mother Jones, Friday - 04/26/2024 - 04:39 PM
