President Joe Biden on Friday said he is now
convinced Russian President Vladimir Putin
has made the decision to invade Ukraine, but
emphasized that room for diplomacy remains.
"As of this moment, I am convinced he's made
the decision, we have reason to believe that,"
Biden said when asked if Putin had made the
decision to invade Ukraine.

Ukraine's president calls for a list of sanctions
against Russia to be made public now https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/ukraine-russia-news-02-19-22-intl/h_1830daf41bfd7a8ea04b2a4bba86d9fe

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has told CNN
that sanctions on Russia should be made public before
a potential invasion of Ukraine occurs.
Zelensky told CNN at the Munich Security Conference
that he disagreed with the stance that sanctions should
only be listed after an invasion by the Kremlin.
Comments: Obviously, sanctions *after* Russia invades
Ukraine have *no* preventative impact, so I agree with
Zelensky that to the extent that sanctions can help to
deter an invasion, the logical wisest move would be to
pronounce them prior to the invasion.
I would also add that NATO taking a non-intervention-
ist stance to using NATO air power and sea power to
try to prevent or counter a Russian invasion reminds
me of all the pacifist efforts to appease Hitler prior
to his invasion of Poland.
Unmentioned, the likely consequence of the invasion
would be Russia installing puppet rulers to in an effort
to re-implement Russian dominance over Ukraine in a
manner similar to the pre-1991 way they dominated
most East European countries.

Don't know how the 'wealth' is computed for the
following lists, but for reasons unknown, the
wealth of Russia's leader Vladimir Putin is not
listed anywhere on the following lists (he's mys-
teriously missing though other Russians are
present on both lists):
Somehow being the pseudo-czar of Russia has
empowered Putin to impoverish all Russians ex-
cept his favored co-oligarchs and hide almost
all of his vast fortune, Forbes & Bloomberg not
bothering to try to find out what Putin's fortune
actually is.

Russia’s attack on Ukraine is underway.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, in an early
Thursday morning address in Moscow, an-
nounced that Russia would launch a military
action in Ukraine. Soon thereafter, NBC News
reported that explosions were heard in Kyiv,
the Ukrainian capital.
U.S. President Joe Biden condemned the at-
tack. “The world will hold Russia accountable,”
he said.
... NATO chief condemns Russian attack on
Ukraine
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg
in a statement condemned Russia’s military
action against Ukraine.
“I strongly condemn Russia’s reckless &
unprovoked attack on Ukraine, which puts
at risk countless civilian lives,” Stoltenberg
said.
“Once again, despite our repeated warnings
& tireless efforts to engage in diplomacy,
Russia has chosen the path of aggression
against a sovereign & independent country,”
he said.

On CNN with Wolf Blitzer the evening of Feb-

Clark called on the U.S. to go to the U.N. de-
manding Russia to stop the attack on Ukraine.
Following that, representative John Kinzinger
called on the U.S. to declare Ukraine a no fly
zone, NATO air forces preventing Russian jets
from flying over Ukraine. John's position is ...
... that NATO superiority will be able to prevent
Russian air attacks, "giving Ukraine a fighting
chance".
https://twitter.com/AdamKinzinger
Various news articles have stated this would
amount to a war between NATO & Russia. It
appears that Ukrainians are being sacrificed
out of fear of World War 3, & NATO acting as
if Ukraine can be ignored/sacrificed & thous-
ands of Ukrainians dying is a moral stance ...
... is not, in my opinion, defensible. Appease-
ment is morally bankrupt, and in my opinion,
appeasement is the stance the U.S. & NATO
have adopted, sanctions & military supplies
small solace as Ukraine is being destroyed.
Zelensky, who remains in Kyiv at great risk,
having stated he is the primary target & his
family is the secondary target, he states that
the war will be decided in Kyiv tonight. Russia
has threatened killing family member of Ukrain-
ian soldiers.
In my opinion, the U.S. and NATO *must* move
aggressively to stop Russia from destroying
Ukraine, & idiotic rules that prevent NATO from
protecting Ukraine *must* be ended. The very
least the U.S. & NATO can do, a no fly zone,
should be implemented immediately, in my
opinion.
The path to freedom has no room for cowards.
I really don't grasp why so little is being done by
the West or why the rules of NATO seem to ex-
clude all of Europe that's not part of NATO or
why Ukraine has been kept out of NATO or why
Putin is risking the start of what may end up be-
ing the end of human civilization.
I just don't get it.
