CNN just aired the post-debate Sanders-Warren exchange. Both accuse the other of calling the other a liar. Warren intitiated. The fact that this was done on stage w/ camera & audio, and the fact that Warren’s camp started this whole thing, makes me wonder if they staged this too.

Russia has not used anywhere near its full military power. It's avoided civilian areas & focused on NATO-tied military targets. That's why CNN-MSNBC-Fox have so little actual footage. US can avoid disaster if it stops treating Ukrainians as cannon fodder & gives up on NATO there.
