Just watched him on CNN, wish we had a leader like that. I worry about my kids future, but if we don't stand up to Putin the **** then they won't have one.

That other side of this is your opinion and the reasoning has been thought about by nato or they wouldn’t be mentioning it within their
Meetings it’s all what ifs and buts right now to be honest.
Cos on a board where there has been incipient homophobia on and off for years and at time when we are all facing the most challenging times since the 2nd world war and the LGBT community in Russia is under greater threat than it was here in the 80s to come up with the slime ball nickname ' Puffkin' is a step back perhaps?
Size seemed to matter when you brought up the hypothetical “git big Russian”, now it means nowt. How does that work then?
Letting him continue to take whatever he wants, in the hope he’ll eventually just stop (because you know, deep down he’s a nice guy?), is the “big bet”. If he was genuinely willing to push the nuclear button, and we were going to give him carte blanche “on the off chance”, we might as well just pack in now and offer up the whole of Europe.
There’s a big grey area between those two extremes mind

And my opinion a nuclear war seems unlikely but like I say I hope
It’s something they never have to make a decision on,

He hasn't got the resources to do anything.
Intel from Finland shows that bases near the border that had good quality forces in have been replaced by kids. Good troops are either in Russia intimidating Russians or in Ukraine.
That's my point. That Chinese writer Sun Tzi (?) said "never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake".
They're f***ing it up. Yes it's awful in Ukraine but escalation helps them not one bit. They might even get nuked.
OOOSH YEAH

I didn’t suggest that. I’m suggesting that we supported a similar war in Iraq
we went to war with them. This is what we were told. The majority of this country supported going into iraq.
Look at the f***ing state of what we were being told.

the people of Russia are in exactly the same position now. Why shouldn’t they feel the way we did. We live in a horrible world. Condoleeza Rice said this

Yeah and India abstained the other day at the UN.
There was an Indian Air Force transport plane heading in the direction of Southern Russia the other day and then turned off its transponder. Could be absolutely nothing of course but it was the same time as I was checking out those hashtags

There is an enormous difference between a NATO country directly shooting down a Russian jet compared with providing Ukraine with the weaponry to take out that same jet. That is the key point that you need to understand.
Where?
There’s nothing “extreme” about standing up to a dictator in defence of innocent people.

Who said let him have what he wants?
I think yourself and others need to be very careful what you’re wishing for.
