The Long Arm of the Phantom Limb.

I'm jealous of Remnick for that. DamnI wish I had thought of that.

NATO says there are 20,000 Russian troops now massed on the Ukraine border. NATO fears an invasion is coming on the pretext of a humanitarian rescue of the Russian-speaking majorities in areas like the "Donetsk People's Republic," which Russian-speaking majorities have been getting their ass-skis kicked by the Ukraine military recently.

David Remnick was asked yesterday if Russian-speakers in, like, Russia would support Putin and "Greater Russia" (As they did and do with Crimea.) if it came to an invasion of Ukraine. "No," said Remnick.
