The problem with NOT reacting militarily to the build-up is now obvious. But the problem with such a reaction is also very obvious. Can you say “war in Afghanistan”? And Russia is bigger, much better equipped and every bit as willing to die in defense of the motherland.
If these Sanctions damage Putin personally, I believe he’ll resort to Cyber Warfare first. If that doesn’t work, he’ll go Nuclear. I wonder if the State Dept. Dept of Defense. and CIA are planning a surprise party for Putin?
By the early reports, the Stinger and Javelin weapons President Trump supplied to Ukraine are having a telling effect against Russian aircraft and armor. Let’s hope that Biden keeps the weapon supply line open and ups the ante. The tribal Afghanistan warlords were able to send the Russian bear home licking its wounds. The Ukrainian people seem willing to go underground with gorilla warfare in support of its conventional troops. Putin just may have put the bears paw into a meat grinder, we’ll see.
Does Ukraine have any capabilities to hit railway and transportation corridors in Russia on which supplies are moving? Army/air force bases? I’m sure NATO has this information and could supply it to Ukraine.
Funny that, H W Bush managed to build a 500,000 global force to beat (massacre, actually) Hussein hapless troops out of Kuwait… But Ukraine, today? forget it!
China is delighted, watching the appalling reaction from the West. Please, don’t act surprised when Taiwan is next…
as noted elsewhere, cacklin’ rosie is playing fast and loose with the truth when she claims that the white house’s former inhabitant supplied arms to ukraine when he was actually trying to block arms shipments to benefit himself…

His country doesn’t want this war any more than we do.

Putin doesn’t dare. He’d end up sending his country into the Stone Age.

A couple of Tomahawks into the Kremlin, launched from within Ukraine, would stop the war today.

F@#$ Putin. It may be better to deal with fall out than live under him and his puppet dictators tyranny.
Too bad in the states, those that run around saying they have guns to fight against tyranny, are already lining up to fight FOR tyranny.

If the Republicans were smart, they’d stop denigrating Soros and ask him to get the Jews controlling the Space Lasers to aim them at the Kremlin.
