I support that plan. I think you’ve outlined a reasoned approach to conventionally opposing Russian action in Georgia. At the very least, it limits what actions they will be allowed to take.

If Russia wants to escalate beyond that, then it’s their choice. Then we mop the floor with them.

I have kept my eye on some of our munitions. Some of them are simply magical in their scope. They can level a whole section of armored vehicles with one drop. I don’t think Putin has anything like that at his disposal.

At the very least, it would make him have to pay a very heavy price for attaining any goal he may have. I’m convinced we could stop him in his tracks if we wanted to.

I hope something like that is afoot. But we dare not let Georgia go down without us lifting a hand.

The Russians are serious and I believe this is just an opening move in a much larger, far reaching policy, that they hope will turn back the clock 20 years.

We need to check mate them right there, and do so in such a way that makes it clear that we are not going futher than protecting Georgia, but that by God, shows them we will protect Georgia, Ukraine, Poland, Latvia, Estonia, etc., etc. fro their aims and their naked agression.
