I just watched two documentary series on PBS recently that were both excellent: "Rise of the Nazis" (6 hrs) and "The U.S. and the Holocaust" (6 hrs, Ken Burns). Totalitarian dictators all operate from the same play book. Putin, like Hitler and Stalin before him, will not hesitate to kill thousands of Ukrainians and Russians to cling to power.

Belarus only has 60,000 odd military and it is highly unlikely that Lukashenko will forcibly draft another 20,000. And if he invades Ukraine, Poland has an excuse to enter the war which they would love to do.The Blog Fodderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11441978691701289074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689245642139665514.post-6554720725687505472022-09-30T04:04:48.865-06:002022-09-30T04:04:48.865-06:00Yep.

This was not the case when I posted the blog. Not all the Ukrainians in the occupied oblasts are pro-Russian though many may have been. I do hope once given guns they turn on their officers (if they have any) and then surrender.

The sons of the well connected need not worry. but the few days from announcement allows the wealthier population to escape. Those that can afford $10K airline tickets and those with cars.
