If you re read my post, I don't say we need to go to war with Russia. What I'm saying is Putin is bluffing. His military is crashing right in front of the world. All he has is a threat to start a nuke war. I'm betting he doesn't want war any more than we do.

IMO, his nukes may not even work. They are all at least 15-20 years old. Rockets have to be refreshed every few years. The only concerning thing for me is he has thousands of them and some are bound to work. I'm betting we have the upper hand in early detection and strike back.

The thinking I was trying to get across is if a bully bullies you and you don't say anything about it, you can expect to get bullied tomorrow and every day after that. The whole reason we are here today is because Biden told the world how he threatened "Corn Pop". Putin is laughing at him. China will be next on Taiwan before we can vote a Republican Congress back in. We won't even build a pipeline or drill in Anwar with Biden.

What's the difference n sending a few jets to Ukraine vs. sending 1000 stinger missiles? Somehow it crosses some imaginary line to send jets. Putin is playing Biden like a fiddle. We are playing checkers and Putin is playing chess.

I did read your post and what struck me was this line. "What I'm saying is we need to do what is necessary to win and put Putin back in the dark ages." Dark ages to me means nuclear war. If that was not the meaning then my bad.
