Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada should start worrying
By James Mullin

Everyone recalls Biden’s remark that the U.S. might soft-pedal its response if Russia engaged in only a “minor incursion” in Ukraine. Well, surprise, surprise! Given the green light from Biden, Russia is unilaterally annexing only a portion of Ukraine. There’s its “minor incursion.” Biden is trying to talk and act tough but, of course, it’s too late. And here’s something to ponder: Don’t think that can’t happen here.

Having given Putin the go-ahead, Biden is now imposing a few sanctions on Putin’s cronies, as well as putting a sanction on sovereign debt, limiting Putin’s ability to raise money in the West (but there’s still China....). This was because even Biden had to concede that what Putin grabbed wasn’t a minor incursion. Instead, Biden admitted, “Russia just announced that it is carving out a big chunk of Ukraine.”

Put another way, Putin just grabbed one-quarter of the country and a much greater percentage of its mining and heavy industry. Significantly, he did so by claiming that this is what the mostly-Russian people in those regions wanted.

I've been making this point, FTA, for a couple of weeks now about Putin deciding to annex portions of Ukraine willy nilly based on the language spoken:

Let's engage in some political exaggeration here and suppose that, after the illegal immigration tsunami across the U.S. southern border, the Mexican government one day stirs up anti-American feeling in Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico; says its countrymen are being horribly mistreated; and sends in the Mexican army (with help from Cuba, Venezuela, and China) to set things right.  It'd be only 10–15% of American territory, so it would constitute a "minor incursion."  Joe (or, by then, Pete Buttigieg) will likely slap crushing tariffs on avocados, hot peppers, and Corona beer.  But thereafter, seeing the Grand Canyon will require a passport.

Doesn't look like such a stretch now, does it?

Remember when folks ridiculed the notion of this?
