This has been a great discussion, a reminder of the board pre-Trump


We don't all have to agree, but thoughtful and researched perspectives should always be welcome.

I don't think anyone reasonable expects Putin to put his tail between his legs and slink back to pre-2014 borders based upon 10k casualties and some sanctions. He has many options to escalate at his disposal, and he's not subject to the same pressures western governments are. So while I don't advocate appeasement, we do need to be realistic about giving him a "win" to end this tragedy before a broader conflict breaks out.
