Interesting.

U.S. Warms to Helping Ukraine Target Crimea
The Biden administration is considering the argument that Kyiv needs the power to strike at the Ukrainian peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014.
…
After months of discussions with Ukrainian officials, the Biden administration is finally starting to concede that Kyiv may need the power to strike the Russian sanctuary, even if such a move increases the risk of escalation, according to several U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive debate. Crimea, between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, is home to tens of thousands of dug-in Russian troops and numerous Russian military bases.

Boots on the ground soon, if not already. They never say anything until after the deed is done/started.

Really bad feeling about this.

Ukraine going after Crimea will go nuclear. Putin won't hesitate to use nukes to defend his only warm-water port. And the US is encouraging this insanity.

Heads up for most of Ohio for straight line winds and small tornadoes today. JANUARY, ffs.

And snow tomorrow. Only Ohio.

I'm in the enhanced risk. Just because I have a basement now, doesn't mean I have/want to use it today.

This is not right..."In a report issued last fall, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren said four banks provided data reporting over 190,000 cases of fraudulent transactions on Zelle involving over $213 million of payments in 2021 and the first half of 2022. In the majority of the cases, the report noted, individuals were not repaid the amount they were defrauded. "

Been watching Vince Waelti tonight. He's about an hour south of me right now and it's just rain and t-storms. He was going to call off the chase until they got another warning.

it was finding Nemo.

Will Ukraine every border the Azov Sea again?

Tough call, but not without a lot of bloodshed. At least in the near-term.

SECRET TO LIFE- not mine, i borrowed it.

A father used to say to his children when they were young: —When you all reach the age of 12 I will tell you the secret of life. One day when the oldest turned 12, he anxiously asked his father what was the secret of life. The father replied that he was going to tell him, but that he should not reveal it to his brothers.
—The secret of life is this: The cow does not give milk. "What are you saying?" Asked the boy incredulously. —As you hear it, son: The cow does not give milk, you have to milk it. You have to get up at 4 in the morning, go to the field, walk through the corral full of manure, tie the tail, hobble the legs of the cow, sit on the stool, place the bucket and do the work yourself.
That is the secret of life, the cow does not give milk. You milk her or you don't get milk. There is this generation that thinks that cows GIVE milk. That things are automatic and free: their mentality is that if "I wish, I ask..... I obtain."
"They have been accustomed to get whatever they want the easy way...But no, life is not a matter of wishing, asking and obtaining. The things that one receives are the effort of what one does. Happiness is the result of effort. Lack of effort creates frustration."
So, share with your children from a young age the secret of life, so they don't grow up with the mentality that the government, their parents, or their cute little faces is going to give them everything they need in life.
Remember 👇👇
"Cows don't give milk; you have to work for it."

I love this.

Is it weird that this ramping up appears to be happening at a snails pace. Is the pace conditioning people to tacitly accept the inevitability of this escalating into a wider war.

Or was it inevitable since March of last year that it would lead to a larger conflict given the strategic location of Ukraine.
