I wish I agreed with the idea that the US will not let Russia win.
What even makes you think that? History? Georgia? Crimea?
The anemic response to Russian aggression over the last 20 years is why we're in this moment right now.
Fuss, sanctions, lose domestic interest while Russia has no such issues, push for peace, let Russia keep whatever they took, rinse, repeat.
And, I gotta be real, as much as I wish this was just a GOP problem, it isn't. I think the GOP is far worse, but Obama was completely delusional. In retrospect, Romney was right about Russian ambition. It's bizarre to think about the Rube Goldberg machine of human history, but if Mitt had won, the global landscape would probably be better right now. Trump never would have been president.
