The question we all have to ask is, if Putin really gets backed, into a corner, here, we can't just talk about the tactical implications on the ground, although they're grim.

We have to talk about whether we need an off-ramp here.

I mean, we're dealing with someone, who is, by some accounts, a madman, someone who is not making pragmatic decisions, has not even been acting the way he has acted in the past.

The Russians are held up. They have concentrated an extraordinary amount, of their combat power, in Ukraine, in their southern neighbor, to conduct this invasion, in the first place.

There's no question that Putin is willing to be vicious.

It's only Trump and a few of his allies who are supporting Putin in this action.

Putin needs to have trouble buying a soda from a vending machine when this invasion starts. And we're not there yet.

We need to be aggressive and confronting it.

Putin should be sanctioned directly. He's solely responsible for the largest war in Europe since World War II.

So, we're in an immeasurably-better position. The White House, Democrats and Republicans, in Congress, and all our NATO allies, are aligned here, on standing up for Ukraine.

I do. I wrote a letter, to the National Security Advisor, back in December. And today, they're really following those recommendations. So, they're may be a little bit late. But I think they're doing the right things.
