Opening I-95 is great and does show what can be done when folks work together….but the notifications on my I pad just broke through that the Rostov area and city are now to some degree in the hands of the Wagner folks…or put. Another way our President and his Administration are in close contact with all our partners because the notion of the Putin-Wagner break up and whatever that means in the next 72 hours…it sure as hell does NOT indicate good guys working together….rather it suggests world level cataclysmic trouble….and the nuclear weapons that could be fought over by the Putin/Wagner folks are a matter of huge concern to the White House.

It is a time to both worry and stay in touch with the news…..

Before we descend completely into schadenfreude, perhaps we can consider offering political asylum to Putin and his loyalist generals. That would certainly neutralize the impact of Trump's informal info sharing, wouldn't it?
