Toute la politique européenne n’a plus qu’un seul object, l’opposition à la Russie.” Dominique de Prat, Du Systême Permanent de l’Europe (1828)
Sulkhan Metreveli@Sulkhan
Don’t provoke Russia’ is the most expensive sentence in European history. Every red line we drew for ourselves — no tanks, no F-16s, no strikes inside Russia — collapsed later, at a higher price. Appeasement isn’t caution. It’s paying more for the same result.

So @sonnybunch was right about Project Hail Mary. Nibbles loved it, I liked it. And mostly right about Sheep Detectives (I found the recurring theme of choosing to forget vs the pain of memory to be pretty darn grown-up).

Gotta hand it to @amnesty for consistency. They haven't mentioned our ballistic missile strikes on Ukrainian civilians since this, they've not posted about any we've done since.
And they're probably not gonna.
