Well here’s the thing, sir.

The Russian invasion of the Ukraine was never an American problem. From the very beginning it was a problem for the Europeans to deal with, if they were so inclined. And at the beginning there were no nuclear threats from anyone or towards anyone, least of all the United States.

What this means is that an American policy of pursuing American interests remains, as it was initially, unrelated to “nuclear blackmail.”

As for Taiwan it has money, it has an army, and it has potentially powerful allies in Japan and South Korea. Though it does not have nukes — that we know of — maybe it should think about getting a few for deterrence.

“The Russian invasion of the Ukraine was never an American problem.”

Except for a solid decade of working for it, provoking it, and arming the nazi force conducting the ethnic cleansing and attacks on the separatists.
We need to back off, but it’s our problem in as much as we created it.

That is exactly what we said about Nazi Germany in 1939. The world is a smaller place and we are all in this together. Russia has been the major problem in this world since ww2. we have a golden opportunity to put them in their place and end the entire mess they have made of the world and you want to let it pass by.
