The USA can enforce red lines all over the world, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Monroe Doctrine. Russia can’t have a red line on its border, 300 miles from Moscow. We brutally imposed our will on Vietnam for a decade in order to try to stop the first domino from falling 10,000 miles away. Russia is fighting like hell to prevent the last domino from falling.
Hear hear !!!!!
wait!?!? What?!?! You are sounding like the media screaming about Elon Musk buying twitter.

That is precisely what I don’t understand in the current debate: those that side whole-heartily with Ukraine seem to completely ignore the Russian side of the conflict. They don’t understand Russia’s motivation, so they think that Russia is simply acting irrationally. Russia is not acting irrationally, they are acting precisely how a rational world or regional power would act when pressed.
As I’ve said before, we chose this fight when we overthrew the legitimately-elected government of Ukraine back in 2014. We wanted this, we thought we could win this. Perhaps we can, but right now I don’t see the powers that being up to challenge.
