e. And he did all the right things. So Pence — I'm going to say it for the millionth time because I love it when somebody just does all the right things and then they just keep doing it — Pence is probably the most reasonable, grounded patriot of all time.

The only thing I'd like to add to this conversation and I haven't heard anybody do it is that we make fun of Swalwell allegedly having gas on camera. That didn't really happen but it's a funny story.

Which would suggest that Ukraine's getting ready for an offensive. So is Ukraine going to go into Crimea? I feel like Ukraine's best play would be to

make a move into Crimea, suck all of Russia's resources out of the disputed areas. Then you know then you can take over the disputed areas because they'll just have conscripts and crap there. And then also when in Crimea you're done. So if they can bring the depleted Russian forces into Crimea because they would have to go, right?
