I agree with your point but I have not power to declare war or such engagement.

I did think the Ukrainians are trying their best to defend themselves and defeat the Russians.

I genuinely believe that if the Ukrainians did exactly everything FR posters supporting Russia recommend, Russia would invade the next country on their list of European domination.

It is foolish to believe that Putin has limited designs on Europe.

It is natural to want to be left alone and perfectly rational. It can only be achieved through deterrence. Biden is pretty bad at that.

I do not agree with your opinion with no bases in fact.

Putin, as a KGB agent was one of the very few Russians privileged to study the United States in depth.   He was able to see the strengths in all facets of our nation.   When the Soviet Union fell, he obviously copied what he knew would bring them into the modern world.

The Russia that Putin is building is not the overthrow and conquer state of the failed International Communist Union which oppressed and terrorized Russians at all levels.

It is more foolish to believe that Germany or France does not have designs on Europe.   The EU is the untrustworthy state that has been gobbling up eastern Europe.   In the face of that, it is no wonder that Russia does not trust the EU (with our help) gobbling up the Ukraine.
