I kiddingly use the saying, "Often wrong, but NEVER in doubt".

This is a situation where I really have NO idea what the correct course of action would be.

NUKESThat is the wild card! Until i read this thread, my thought (and my heart) would say if they use a tactical nuke of any kind, you nuke them right back into dust. BUT that is not well thought out (nor advisable) because it would have beyond dire consequences for the WORLD.

I am completely frustrated and can't believe the atrocities being rained upon the Ukranian people.. BUT, the wild card....NUKES. Putin is, in my mind, NOT hesitant to use them if he thinks he will lose. I don't think he would hesitate to take out as many people as he can along with him.

I don't see a lot of option but to let him do what he wants. I don't know how long you let that continue to happen, ala Hitler. The fundamental difference then was, Hitler did NOT have nukes, and we could eventually squash him (at a terrible cost). I don't see an end game where we win.

The only "out" I can even envision is one of his own people taking him out. I think that, if you cut the head off of THAT particular snake, the whole snake shrivels and dies
