JAMES CARAFANO: Whether Putin Attacks Ukraine or Not, He’s Already Won.

The threat of sanctions is meant to deter a full-blown Russian invasion of Ukraine. But history shows that sanctions are no more of a deterrent to Putin than a speed bump to a monster truck. Just ask the good folks of occupied Crimea. Or occupied Georgia.

Evidence from the more distant past points to a few solar storms that make the Carrington Event seem almost puny by comparison.”
