Gonna trust Biden's Admin who sees the big picture better than me. Hoyt Feb 2022 #1

Good lord, no. No direct confrontation. Wingus Dingus Feb 2022 #5
Disaster is unavoidable at this point. ColinC Feb 2022 #6
It's a limited war, confined to one country. Wingus Dingus Feb 2022 #8

There is a bright line, and that's an attack on a NATO country. Wingus Dingus Feb 2022 #14
That's a dangerous line to wait for imho ColinC Feb 2022 #16

At this rate I'm open to "attack" being very loosely defined. ColinC Feb 2022 #19
The madman will not do that. Justice matters. Feb 2022 #21
Unfortunately I don't think the madman has anything to lose anymore ColinC Feb 2022 #23
Let's doubt it. He's not winning in Ukraine. Justice matters. Feb 2022 #24
"No fly zones" are more or less acts of war. So, no. RockRaven Feb 2022 #7

Kinda agree ColinC Feb 2022 #12
We may as well launch a full first strike against them DetroitLegalBeagle Feb 2022 #13

Russian "silent" nuclear subs not far from our beaches too... Justice matters. Feb 2022 #20
