This should be in NSRIotD2, because she is clearly a R (bluer than the bluest of the bluedogs). ---

That occurred to me, too. If he brings Ukraine into the borders of Russia, then the NATO countries will just have to get out of NATO to acknowledge his legitimate security concerns. ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > Why not just call them “Putin’s Convoy”. Putin may be the driving force getting them organized, but the money is coming from the suckers who follow Trump. Someone is making a LOT of money on this and it’s not the participating truckers > [@](#): > > Wasn’t the “People’s Convoy” supposed to arrive to coincide with the State of the Union address? Not sure what happened with that plan. Supposedly some of the convoys originating in the east will arrive in DC this weekend. But, so far, it looks like this is going to be a big fizzle. Putin may be significant in turning this convoy into a non-event. With the world facing WWIII, there will be little patience or sympathy, or news space, for these idiots if they do bring a crowd to DC. If this event fails or gets beaten up (metaphorically) enough due to their timing, maybe these coup attempts will end for now. ---
