Sending troops to the Ukraine or enforcing a no fly zone……


Would be absurdly stupid. I frankly think most Americans would not be willing to engage in a war against Russia to save Ukraine or even Poland or the Baltic states. War with Russia could easily cost the USA 100 million dead. Nuclear weapons are on the table. At what point are Americans willing to accept collective suicide? This isn’t the Taliban. It is the country with the most nuclear weapons. We are not dealing with the collective will of the Russian people. We are dealing with the ego and emotions of a single person. He is an aging autocrat with delusions of restoring tsarist Russia. At some point we have to fight Russia…..But I think that bar has to be very high.
