Thanks very much for your take. I wasn't so sure there would be a "stand down" after reading this story:

Could it be that they are FINALLY taking Putin's red lines seriously? Almost hard to believe. After reading your post quoting Dominique de Villepin it occurred to me (not for the first time) that maybe all of these current Western leaders (Trudeau, Starmer, etc.) and/or the people backing them are so amoral and such liars that they are incapable of thinking that anyone else had morals or could tell the truth. Could this be a turning point? I sure hope so.

Folded up like a cheap umbrella in a hurricane. Nothing screams power and dominance like skulking off into the corner when someone with real power calls your bluff. What a bunch of amateur hour dipshits. It’s remains incredible that these are “the best and the brightest” that the neocons have to offer.
