True, and one would think that defeating an often-conquering country with whom we have been fighting proxy wars for decades would be something warranted, yet the Left opposes Russia because it cannot team with it in promoting its new world order, while Putin seeks to impose his own power over more real estate. But as with Hitler and Stalin, both are proxy servants for the devil in creating instability, economic distress, violence, insecurity in which the multitudes look for a deliverer who promises security. But which devotion to him, which is a false Christ.
Except they can also stop it by bombing western Ukraine which is supplying weapons to eastern Ukraine. They have more options than we do.
The question comes down to this: is NATO defensive, or offensive. In the mid 90's when the Serbs were kicking around in Bosnia, NATO was defensive. IFOR in 1995 was defensive. In 1999 NATO became offensive thanks to Mad Maddy's childhood grudges and Clinton's wag the dog. That was the end of NATO as a plausible defense for Eastern Europe.
