Great post. And remarkable turns of phrase. Like the way your mind works, probably up to a point. But, the headline? Really? "Grave" is a bit dramatic and premature (hopefully inaccurate as well) and really doesn't rise to the quality of your great post. Or even draws that conclusion. Just sayin'.
The headline is a little over the top. I stand by it, but I never meant it to mean Ukraine is already dead. The grave has been dug, but I don't expect it to be occupied.

Maybe Irv is right. Putin probably was counting on oil blackmail to enable his takeover of Ukraine. Of course, nuclear blackmail plays a bigger role.
