as we slept, putin gave a press conference, quietly, confidently, divided a nation, and demonstrated that most russian of all characteristics: arrogance. we worry about the minorities, about impending violence, about what this all means for the new ukrainian government...
as i wrote this, shots were fired at a military base--someone was killed, another injured; a young tatar was found murdered; sanctions were imposed; the rhetoric escalated..
and because i feel a strong personal involvement in all this, the knot in my stomach tightens and tightens
