Haven't seen Adam book any flights to the region to join in the fight.
As usual, these wars are for someone else's kid to fight, not our glorious politicians.

I'm curious how this looks if/when the Russians take Kiev.

I honestly don't know if at this point they will "take" Kyiv as much as they will surround it, cut it off, and continue shelling it whilst letting the people simmer for a bit. That would help their leverage in negotiations at least a bit.
Counter to that, though, is that the Russians have started allowing some humanitarian evacuations over the past 24 hours from cities, Kyiv included. We'll see, I guess.
Are they still using it as their central command or have they started making contingencies?

War is simply a concept where the young are forced to fight and kill people they do not know or hate, at the behest of the old who will not fight and are the ones who hate the other group.

The Cheney’s were a prime example of this during OIF and OEF.

This why I never thought Putin would invade. What is he going to do if he takes over the country? The amount of resources he'd have to commit just to maintain power there would be astronomical. Hell, we couldn't maintain power/order in a country half that size

Adam should meet him at an Arkansas sonic and show him what a real patriot is. See what happens.

My husband uses it when he can get it but pretty sure it's been in short supply here .. I try to not ask too many questions.

I thought he was just making a play for the Donbas and have Ukraine officially say Crimea is Russian territory. For the same reasons.
Right until the tanks started coming from the Belarus border.

Doesn't Kitzinger support escalating the conflict by establishing a no-fly zone? It is all a game to people like him.

I honestly think that the one thing we've kind of gotten wrong about Putin so far is that he "underestimated the resolve of the Ukranians".
I think he knew, to some extent, that it would be a fight, and that Ukraine wouldn't roll over for any of the demands. So, he decided to lay siege to cities across the country in effort to gain leverage through relatively limited destruction.
Now, the battle-readiness of his army seems to have dickered him, and his blitz hasn't been nearly as effective as he expected. That's particularly true when he is trying, or at least was trying, not to completely level the country.
I believe if he thought he could get the Donbas with limited military engagement he would have tried it. He knew Zelensky, and by extension the Ukrainian people, weren't going to lay down.

I’ve seen some suspect Tucker clips regarding the conflict but Kinzinger also seems kind of up his own arse
