It's Ok, I'm just a member of an Internet forum sharing my opinion on the current situation. Please don't assume because I did so I'm some sort of nuclear strategist.

So you'd appease Putin, let him invade Ukraine, eradicate it as a nation, do who knows what with its citizens, we've already seen evidence of war crimes and then who is next? Moldova, Finland? When do you say enough is enough? Ukraine said no, they are fighting for their nations very survival and you want to through them under the bus. You would have been great in 1939, we'd all be speaking German now.

You wouldn't know about it without the media pumping the rhetoric though.
Who is calling for world war 3 ? Get a grip of yourself. A stand is a united front to Russia where we do not give them or make it easy for Russia to get what it wants.

We would and did, he invaded a sovereign nation, and the pictures and people's stories showed us that he was evil, no need for media rhetoric is there !?
Honestly, not really. Sure, watching it you come away thinking he’s a nasty piece of work but you’d also come to the same conclusion watching the Russian media! That bit of theatre with all the top politicians and generals pre invasion. Or any of their state media talking head shows.
I think a lot of the reporting I have seen has in general been pretty good. When it comes down to it it’s hard to try and bring both sides of the story when their side is so much, paper thin nonsense.
Besides, if folks didn’t already think he was a horrific human being pre-invasion then they weren’t paying attention.

Mm my thoughts also...and the more desperate he gets, the closer his fingers moves to the red button.
I'm not sure that sanctioning Russia to high hell, along with providing it's enemy billions of dollars of cutting edge lethal aid - qualifies as appeasment, to be honest.
Nobody is throwing Ukraine under a bus, and whilst it might feel good to imagine a huge NATO force getting involved and giving the Russians a good spanking on the field of battle, but it just can't happen with the current circumstances.
It can't happen, because the stakes of getting involved in a hot war with Russia on behalf of another non-NATO country are just too high, if we do - there's a very real path of escalation directly to a nuclear war.
Getting involved in a full blown hot war with Russia (which is what would need to happen) would result in carnage and catastrophe the likes of which we've never seen before, it could even ultimately end the human race, or put it back a few thousand years.

Isn't that the whole point? Posturing to keep people guessing?

Is that when twelve men and women of, good standing, hold the missile and point it at the enemy?
