Well Captain Obvious, you nailed it. While the free world rushes to punish Putin and the Russians for what they’re doing, this chick is worried about them being “cancelled”? Is that really the state of the Conservative movement in the US right now? We’re worried about being mean to poor Vlad and the Russians?

So yeah. Nutty (and borderline treasonous) broad applies.

You couldn’t be more wrong, dangerously wrong if diplomats and leaders are thinking the same way. Wendy Rogers is exactly right. What Putin is doing is wrong, but should not be a surprise, either. The globalists in Europe and the U.S. thought they could just keep pushing the boundaries of NATO right up to Russia’s borders without a reaction. Russia has been planning a response to this for years, but the pathetically weak and illegitimate Biden regime caused it to see a window of opportunity right now to move forward with their plan.

The West has to push back against this, especially making sure that Russia doesn’t try to move beyond Ukraine, but that pushback has to be extremely carefully calibrated. Disconnecting Russian banks from SWIFT and otherwise threatening Russia’s ability to function as a country WILL BEYOND QUESTION cause Putin to see this as the end of everything for his country and will cause him to take the entire world down along with Russia. Russian state media threatened exactly that today.

He launched this invasion because he felt that Russia was being backed into a corner by being encircled by western nations. REALLY backing him into a corner by threatening his country’s viability will most certainly cause a fatalistic reaction, likely ending life as we know it as a result. Remember, they don’t even have to launch an all-out nuclear attack; the EMP from a single warhead would end our modern society for decades if not forever, and kill tens of millions of Americans at a minimum.

Your comments are flippant, shallow, and not nearly serious and thoughtful enough to match the dilemma we are faced with. I pray that those in charge are by some miracle more clear-thinking than that. Wendy Rogers gets it, and should not be ridiculed by unserious arm chair “generals.”

One thing you can always count on with the GOP - there'll be enough folks around to put together a circular firing squad...

I think it is quite reasonable to concern ourselves with Russia's situation. If we don't find a way to allow the Russians to save face, this thing will only get worse.

You back a rat into a corner and he will eventually fight you, and this particular rat has the power to kill most of the people in the world.

I'm all in favor of a principled stand, but when you sacrifice the most important principle (allow your family to continue living) you are making the worst mistake possible.
