Ukrainian Russian warship stamp, 2022
Democracy is under attack not just in the United States but in eastern Europe. Russia’s unprovoked, illegal, ongoing invasion of Ukraine threatens to undermine the stability of not just their immediate neighbors but western Europe as well. It’s even infected U.S. politics, spotlighting an astonishingly Russia-friendly, Putinist wing of the Republican Party.
I have tracked Putin’s war daily since it began. I don’t claim to have any relevant expertise, but I have thoughts about it that I’ve decided to post periodically, simply to get them off my chest. This is almost certainly the most thoroughly documented war in history. The visual imagery of the war is widely available and mostly horrific, so I won’t republish it here.
Instead, I’m keeping my Eyes on Ukraine.
You’ll find my running commentary via the links below, in reverse chronological order, the most recent first.

- Eyes on Ukraine (2) (1/12/24): In which I assess the proposition that the Democrats in Congress are somehow responsible for the fall ’23-spring ’24 holdup of U.S. aid for Ukraine.
- Eyes on Ukraine (1) (10/30/23): In which I offer some thoughts on Russia’s assault on Ukraine and the West in general. Includes a list of sources for relevant information and commentary on the Russian inclination for toilet theft.
