In reply to the discussion: Russia seeks 'slow annihilation' of Ukraine's military [View all]Irish_Dem
(46,426 posts)27. 100% certainty that we will come to regret our inaction.
People way smarter than I am could come up with a plan that is somewhere between doing nothing and WWIII. The bank plan is not slowing down Putin in the least, and even if it does, it will be too late.
If there is no one who can come up with a plan to save Ukraine then the $trillions we spend on our government and military is a waste.
Putin will feel he is invincible and will move onto his next victim.
We own some responsibility for all of this. We allowed Putin to take over half our congress and the US media, install a US president and greatly divide and weaken our country. Putin was emboldened by his success in the US and moved onto Ukraine.
