    Just the way this is going to go I guess. Ukraine has to fight with one hand tied behind their back, because the US says so, because appeasement like that always works when autocrats invade sovereign nations… Imagine in the late 1930s the UK ordering, lets say Poland, to not set foot on German soil and only fight in Poland because otherwise (gasp) we might make Hitler really mad and he might do something crazy. So too bad for you Poland, but we’ll just have to adandon support for you if you attack inside Germany, just how these things go…

      There weren’t nukes then. The world doesn’t work that way anymore.

      I agree with you. Let’s kick these fuckers back to Moscow, then kick em some more, but there are smarter people than you and I working on this. So far, it isn’t because Biden lacks the stones to do it.

        Yeah. These governments could be acting in bad faith or they may have a shit ton of non public info which is making them act this way.
