US says war appears imminent after shelling on Ukraine front line

26. No. Humanity does not love to beat on each other.

This means you want to beat on me and I on you. What's true is SOME humans want to beat on each other and the rest of us wring our hands going 'oh dear, what can be done.' Humanity loves to act like there is nothing to prevent us from being horrible to each other. We have philosophical discussion about ethics and historical documentaries about atrocities but we just console ourselves by saying nothing could be done. Well, a hell of lot can be done but it's brutal, harsh and difficult.

Biden should have thousands of troops in Ukraine participating in military exercises with our allies RIGHT FUCKING NOW! It's too late. I'm afraid it's going to be ugly and brutal for those about to be occupied. The rest of NATO will wag a finger and say tsk,tsk but will do nothing of consequence.

In the international scene bullies need to be defeated not sanctioned. People are going to die. It's sad but war is a reality as long as people believe reason will prevent authoritarians from acting in authoritarian ways.

I don't want to beat on other people. However, I'm willing to defend against warmongers. Hard choices are never made by politicians (Biden). They are forced upon them. I say we should be landing supplies, gear and troops in Kiev two weeks ago. Biden should've have made it very clear that we are there with our allies on whatever pretext he chooses but ANYTHING that might happen to us will be considered an act of war and will be treated as such. Yeah, it's unpopular but peace requires strength not the 'appearance' of strength.

Ukraine is lost unless it's a tougher opponent than Putin thinks it is. There are reasons he chose Ukraine as expansion than other parts of Europe. Bullies don't pick on the strongest.
