If Ukraine turns into a vast Stalingrad. Followed by becoming another Russian Afghanistan. Putin my go nuts for real. He already sez the sanctions are a declaration of war. It’s possible some Russian canned sunshine may be used. First a little then a lot as the party gets bigger.

We're headed for trouble.
