Seriously.

Biden and the rest of NATO should have said something along these lines:

If you intend to proceed with your invasion of Ukraine, it will fail. If you send transports or helicopters to capture strategic objectives, they will be shot down. If you send ground forces across the border, they will be destroyed with prejudice. If you fire missiles into Ukraine, they will be destroyed, as will their launch platforms, where feasible. We did it to Iraq twice; we can do it to you.

We will restrict our actions to Ukrainian territorial boundaries at the outset, but be warned: any attack on NATO or allied assets outside of Ukraine will be met with immediate lethal response.

This is not a negotiation. This is a statement of policy going forward.

So fuckin tired of limpdick neoliberal geopolitical leadership.

So when will you enlist to go fight?

The point I’m making is that a strong response out of the gate would have made what’s now turning into a massive conflict a lot shorter and far less catastrophic.
