You can't blame anybody for seeing the horrors of war right in front of their faces while Russia inflicts mortal wounds on Ukraine. This IS war, and they see it.
It's a matter of judgment as to what to do. Do we, intervene? Or do we, wait until Super Asshole threatens Poland, Sweden, or the Baltics? Or Moldova? Now he is threatening the whole world. Do we, stop him in Ukraine? Or, do we wait to see if he decides he has had fun there, why not go on to Europe?
I answered the poll. I said I want more done. I want to see Ukraine given all the hardware their hearts desire, plus I want to see NATO fortify Europe's borders with many thousands of troops. I want a troop buildup. Why? Because, that's the name of the game, defending Europe. No appeasement, no fear, just get ready. When he sees this, maybe he will go home. Because if he doesn't see that he can't win, he won't stop in Ukraine.
