We are not Neocons but you are an Appeasenik. Russia brutally invaded the Republic of Georgia and Ukraine and threatens its European neighbors. That is whay Sweden ditched its long-standing and cherished tradition of neutrality and clamored to join NATO.
Appeasement does not work. The West was very weak in its response to the Georgian invasion and thus we now have a very large war.
You need to check out some sources that are not Moscow-created.
So you are saying if we don’t war with them now we will war with them later? They will invade us? They will invade Europe? Is there anything there worth saving?
Attacking decreases the risk of nuclear war and not attacking increases it?
You need to read a little history and dispose of a few idols you hold dear.
