so by the end of the year?

probably sooner than that.

Sanctioning Russia and Germany — effectively all of Europe — would undermine the entire power of economic sanctions. if we sanction enough of the globe we just create a parallel market that the US is willingly excluding itself from to make a point.

whatever way it goes this is the end of the US being able to exercise influence in continental Europe. we still have pedophile island on our side but well,

Democratically-elected leaders operate fundamentally different from autocrats. To folks like Putin and Xi, Western leadership is something to weather, until the next election.

Putin has many problems at home, including losing the executive upper bourgeoisie class, previously one of his pillars of power.

The liberals are gonna have about 12 hours of "Ha! I told you so!" before they get their new marching orders that, actually, this doesn't count as an invasion because that would embarrass Biden and his toothless poo poo throwing.

Whether or not this technically counts as an invasion is entirely up for debate imo.

Quoting a post from over 700 minutes ago is helldumping.

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?

I don’t expect them to do anything but inexplicably embarrass the entire country by using insanely terrible mixed messaging.

the issues can be simplified to something like a) is Putin invading Ukraine, b) is Ukraine important, and c) what is a proportionate response? the administration has said yes to a) and b) and the response is :effort:

Yes. It is as clear as day what right and wrong is. You do not need a foil or an insane amount of whataboutism to form an opinion on something so obvious. Whether our reality reflects that is a different matter.

Russia has been blocking poo poo in the UN Security Council on the basis of non-intervention for decades.

How can you look at the UN Security Council, and then look at the US Senate, and not conclude that these are just assholes trying to get their way?

In case you're accusing me of willing our reality into existence, I'm not. Honestly, we're like 200 years outgrown the past international legal framework of nation states.

They went from "We are withdrawing troops" to "We are sending in troops".

I am asking you to recognize that the circumstances have changed.
