West raised messaging rhetoric also lost early chance
of a clean UA defensive pushback of the invader by
delaying arms support requests into a slow ramp.
One year later...
Saboteurs everywhere.
Euros now shipping in jets.
Poland et al becoming agitated to enter UA.
Belarus ready to jump in.
Putin may be recalled by Monday's Xi meeting,
if not, escalation risk grows much higher.
Gold price soaring in response.
All sides are guilty now.
Letting things grow is bad.
As usual, seek peace, and be prepared.
