So you want us to get into a shooting war with Russia?
Who wants a "shooting war war with Russia"? I posted the following on another thread.

England's PM Neville Chamberlain had that type of view when on 9/30/1938 he ceding the German-speaking Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia to Germany. That's what furthered Germany's aggression which led to the invasion of Poland on 9/1/1939 that marked the beginning of WWII. The course of history will repeat itself unless unless something is done to change that course.
Showing weakness towards aggressors like Putin only increases their aggression. Force is needed to stop aggressors, not necessarily the USE of force, but just the showing of force is enough to shop aggressors.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov gave US Secretary of State Antony Blinken a list of demands and DEMANDED that the US deliver written responses to those demands. IMO Blinken should have torn up the list of demands and walked away. By accepting the list and AGREEING to reply to Russia's demands in writing he showed a weakness, not just to Russia but to the rest of the world, including China, Iran, North Korea, NATO and other allies.
Aggression like cancer only spreads until something is done to stop the spread.

You don't need to look internationally to see what happens when evil isn't confronted and allowed to grow. With what is happening in the US with the increase of the "soft on crime" policies crime has increased with murders dramatically. There were 259 more murders in the first half of 2021 compared to the first half of 2020, and 548 more compared to the first half of 2019 in 29 major U.S. cities, according to the Council on Criminal Justice's.
Even Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, who supports "soft on crime" policies", said that the state he runs looks like a “Third World country” while cleaning the mess thieves left on railroad tracks. For that statement he got criticized for using the term “Third World country” rather than "Developing Nations" from some of his fellow leftist.....they are MORE concerned about WORDS than what is happening in California. Newsom DIDN'T mention the CRIME that was committed that CAUSED the look of a "Third World Country".....and without the crime being stopped the problem won't be solved.
