Success for U.S. is: having an American Air Force Base in northern Ukraine. Our jets and nukes will be that much closer to Minsk & Moscow

Re: 4 - A reminder about the Powell Doctrine (modified Weinburger Doctrine) when considering military action by the US:
1. Is a vital national security interest threatened?
2. Do we have a clear attainable objective?
3. Have the risks and costs been fully and frankly analyzed?
4. Have all other nonviolent policy means been fully exhausted?
5. Is there a plausible exit strategy to avoid endless entanglement?
6. Have the consequences of our action been fully considered?
7. Is the action supported by the American people?
