    It's enormous crime and catastrophe. What's worse, the hubris that led Putin to do this also means he won't be able to change course. This could go on for a long time, with immense human cost.https://twitter.com/OsitaNwanevu/status/1499114567565258753 …

    Not an expert and I'm not going to pretend to be one, but this really does feel like another unforced, world-historical blunder in the making. Only question is how many people die before Putin realizes it, if he ever does. https://twitter.com/evanhill/status/1499111702645907463 …

        We can only hope that somewhere deep in the system there is a conversation about some kind of check on Putin. But the diverse forces that need to come together for that...

        In fact, he probably thinks himself in expert in prolonged horror, given what he’s done in Chechnya, Syria, and elsewhere

        But you still don't want to put pressure on individual Russians to try to get rid of him?!

        Not agueing against the sanctions but i don't think they can . There's like a handful of people who could do that . The only scenario i could see is what happened to South Korean dictator Park Chung-hee who was killed by the head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency

        I was completely wrong on the invasion so maybe I'm also wrong now but best case scenario seems hand Putin Donbas and Crimea (+landbridge or just build a ferry) in exchange for a ceasefire? Seems like a win for him? Kiev is surrounded this is going to get so much worse.

        That’s the issue. Putin needs an off ramp that he can claim as a win.

        What would your course of action have been given the circumstances. The invasion was happening, it happened, what’s the solution?

        And the human cost won't be limited to Ukraine either.
