bullshit. he'll take it and keep puffing his chest. this is a nod that they are working some though. If it was war he'd already be responding as such. He's not and won't until he must.



not bullshit. But Russia would try to avoid interaction but then would be forced to act if we did enforce it. Imagine a NATO jet shooting down a russian one. That's it we all out with two nuclear powers. It would get terrible real fast.

So is Putin.

Tough (if not flat out impossible) to punish just the government of a country without affecting it's civilian population.
As I said earlier in the thread. I love the idea of the ATM eating Putin's card when he goes to take out $20 for the valet, but these things disproportionately impact civilians. Anyone who's honest about it knows that the idea behind them is to create enough unrest that the citizens will topple the government.

Given that direct military involvement could well result in nuclear war, it is either that or do nothing at all, which would surely only embolden Putin to invade other countries.

Putin has his hands full with Diet Russia. Somehow I doubt he's going to storming the shores of the British isles anytime soon.

I tend to agree with you here as well as the use of sanctions. Other options are watch or full on war it seems.
