UPDATE: Live video streams have multiple live streaming showing major cities in Ukraine under attack. Ukrainian media reports that nearly all the major cities in Ukraine are being attacked.

Putin made some very concerning threats to the west and suggested that he might use nuclear weapons against any NATO nations or other countries.

This story will keep going throughout the night. You will see many updates and it will be time for debate as to how much the United States should get involved in any response. I don’t believe that time is now, though. People are dying as I type, because of the delusions and grandeur of a dictator. At the very least, that should be condemned for what it is, even if one believes it’s not our fight.

This situation and the absurd decisions made by US leaders to empower Putin are all relevant. They deserve an in-depth reckoning. It will. Now, please pray for Ukraine’s victims tonight. We’ll get to the rest later.
