I have seen Death of Stalin, great stuff.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know if Putin thought he was going to get all of Ukraine, he likely would love that, but this war seems almost to be about him getting the eastern most chunk of it, but perhaps that's for now.

I feel like the US was fanning flames over time. I just recall Ukraine asking us to tone down the alarm bells about Russia having troops on the border.

I think we've long seen Ukraine as a strategic piece of the puzzle.
