This whole thing has been intentional nose-thumbing at the international norms regarding kinetic intervention.

The West's entire Foreign Policy regarding Russia was built upon the assumption they'd never have the resources or competence to mount an operation of this scale. They hosed up, and can't do anything about it.

they absolutely can intervene, hell Congress would probably sign a mutual defense pact with Ukraine

The US can't and won't. These aren't disavowable Wagner guys or brown goat farmers they can just bomb with impunity.

The only way to interfere with the Russians is killing a whole bunch of flagged Russian military and that'd get out of hand fast because they will shoot back. And troop blood will look real bad in the lead up to the midterms.

so despite spending months bleating about this situation Biden has done nothing to actually enforce the rules based international order the DC blob has been adamant is an actual thing.

what has been more frustrating than actually wondering if Putin would invade is the kind of simultaneous alarm and gutlessness coming from the administration.

am I goin got die in an easily preventable nuclear hellfire or not? I just want answers and behavior consistent with them.

the us absolutely can intervene regardless of the inherent threat of uncontrolled escalation. nothing you stated is a reason why the US cant do it.

that the US won’t intervene is a political estimation, hell a few days ago we all thought Putin didn’t have the chops to escalate the Ukrainian situation and here we are.

It would be wild to see the US get into a war with a country that can actually hit US soil. We haven't done that in 75 years. I don't think we'd be very good at it.

Probably one of the reasons why it is so inconceivable that Russia invades Ukraine is because then China invading Taiwan is on the table, etc, etc.

Speak for yourself, I called this from the beginning.

RE US intervention, they are already backpedaling on sanctions. If they have no stomach for that, how do you even expect them to try and pick a fight?
