Ukraine

Wild that they're already outside Kyiv. That seems extremely fast and also very depressing.

There was that one shot of Putin on TV, I believe the one in the office when he was announcing the invasion, where he looked like a pure lunatic.  You could just see the craziness in his eyes and face.

He says NATO when he means Moscow but, again, the Italian PM wanted to make sure the sale of Gucci and Prada weren't affected.

I think they'd just source them from China anyways...I'd bet this has more to do with Ferrari and Lamborghini.

With the threats now about Sweden and Finland, it's pretty clear Russia's grand scheme is to halt the expansion of NATO by proving the necessity and value in joining NATO.

In some ways yes but this isn't much different than what happened during WWII.

Take a look at this:  https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/02/volodymyr-zelensky-ukraine-president/622938/

Hard to know if it is true but the narrative is that his personal plea and putting his life on the line turned the political tide against Russia in EU negotiations. 

(He put his life beyond on the line — he is a dead man walking. Russia will kill him. It is a short matter of time.  His bravery is through the roof.)

Don't forget he played the President of Ukraine in a satirical tv series called Servant of the People lampooning political corruption; and then shortly after, ran for the presidency for real.
