That much is true. With Putin, we can’t be sure.


Then, war can’t be forestalled. We will have no choice. Now, we do, and our actions in Ukraine do not amount Neville Chamberlain surrendering Czechoslovakia. Nobody’s waving a piece of paper claiming they had secured European peace.

No, we have beefed up our NATO forces, hemming Putin in more. Frankly, greater sanctions are not going to stop him from his goals in Ukraine. Direct military confrontation with him will make a currently still remote possibility an instant reality, and hasten all the consequences those will bring, and the sky is the limit for those.

No, right now, I support what we’re doing, and give the Biden Admin the benefit of the doubt on difficulties on maintaining global unity, which he’s executed better than I bet most thought he would have at the start.
