Like you I've been following this deeply, day after day after day. Probably not healthy. Anxious. Depresssed. Hard to separate the objective facts from the emotional stuff. I just feel the Russian government has let it go past the point of no return. Getting rid of Putin might have given some breathing room to negotiate with Ukraine with both governments able to control their people.

Is this so far fetched anymore? Large terrorist attacks in Russia. All countries surrounding Russia close their borders. Or Russia closes them. Then a reign of terror.
