Appeasement of fascist dictators like Putin NEVER a works. Being eager to have “peace in our time” will bring a huge war. Weakness always invites the wolf. Being strong in the face of the threat is our best chance at peace. I say let’s drive the Russians from Ukrainian skies. The sooner the better. This needs to be a NATO operation, not just an American one. The free world needs to unite and do this together.
Agree 100%.

The reality is the best deterrent to WWIII is to NOT back down. Putin is talking smack aimed at intimidating America, and with far too many, it is working.

If NATO backs down to the bully, like the League of Nations, it dissolves due to its own impotence.

China will chomp on the US next, if we continue acting timid.

Russian policemen captured in Ukraine come clean. Link has a video just under 10 minutes long.

NATO might have nothing to lose but to engage Russia militarily directly if Putin really see actions as declaration war.
The idea that Putin would abide by the "rule" that he will only use nukes if NATO nations put soldiers in Ukraine is nonsense.

Yesterday, during an online meeting between Zalenskyy and Congress, Marco Rubio and another Republican senator tweeted out screenshots of him in real time after being specifically asked not to in order to protect his safety.

Rubio is the Vice Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

Wondering what other information Rubio has relayed to the Russians.

I suspect MasterCard and Visa will survive.

With the ruble worth less than a penny, and many Russians out of work as one corporation after another pulls out, got to wonder if UnionPay is "jumping for joy."

Perhaps. But that doesn’t solve anything.

Day 10 and there’s also 1.45 million refugees and billions worth of home, businesses, and infrastructure destroyed.

We don’t need a scoreboard update everyday.
