“So the Russians should just be allowed to capture a sovereign European nation ?”
If your battle line is indefensible then you relocate it to a defensible position.
Wisest line of the day. We have NATO, which is already bloated and over-extended. By the way, Finland and Sweden are doing fine. We should be more like them and mind our own business with two good oceans and no hostile neighbors. Russia has been around for a thousand years and will be around for a thousand more. We should figure out a way to coexist with this country, as well as with the Chinese and with the muslim world. This neocon bs has to stop. We're on a collision course with nuclear war, whether "limited" or full-on, and when it's over, countries like Brazil, India and South Africa will wonder why these dumasses threw away their future.
