——2. U.S. should be willing to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war. Biden?——
Actually, just this week it was Donald Trump who capitulated with talk of a deal that was actually surrender to Putin
Your post assumes that Ukraine is worth engaging in a nuclear war over.
It isn’t for the United States. For Ukranians, if they had nukes, I have no doubt they would use them against Russia. But is isn’t us. And it isn’t worth it. They aren’t worth it. They are not our allies or friends, and have never been unless they need something.
It isn’t “capitulation” if you have no business being involved in a fight.
