I haven't stopped letting out my sigh of relief that we finally have authorized aid for Ukraine. It's the best thing that happened to me this year and I suspect it will still be the best thing on the December 31.

Just think how many times Putin has rattled the nuclear saber and not pulled the trigger. Since winds prevail from west to east, all the excess radiation will land on southern Russia—where Putin doesn't give a damn about the inhabitants.

However, Putin's use of nuclear weapons will give us the best possible excuse to get rid of him. I suggest 100 cruise missiles landing on the Kremlin.

Or maybe something not so obvious -- like falling off a balcony.

Yes, add my sigh of relief to yours, and I share your fear that November might not bring an even better thing to happen.

Re Putin's use of nuclear weapons, I recommend a more subtle but tried and true method. In Russia, isn't falling off a balcony the most unassuming method of all of retiring someone? And it wouldn't require any collateral damage the way 100 cruise missiles might.
