There’s exceptions to every rule, including no exceptions. Russia is banking on US (both us and the United States) to facilely play by “the rules” and keep letting Hitler (noun) Hitler (verb)

That’s on us, we should be so lucky to further box in Russia till they get alternative leadership with a new vision

They’re not gonna bomb shit, that would take away any remaining leverage and is essentially akin to reifying Pascal’s wager at the nation state level and the SOOOOO not rhetorical realm in which bullies like and specifically Russia so fluorish in unopposed. And he knows how far more terrifying the loss of control that would represent and gurantee for him.

We need to stop playing by Putinz/our rules and throw the fucking rulebook at him. Set a precedent that NATO will pull up its goddamn big girl panties and plug the fucking bloodshed regardless of the soverignty of whatever orifice from which it orginates

Everybody needs to stop appeasing and take control. He can’t KGB or dirty-trix his way out of this, we have to realize we’re an elephant on a leash spun of imaginary silk and we are very much violently allergic such substance
