What should the US do about Ukraine?

[sarisataka]

I know Biden has said we will not get directly involved, but there is a growing number of posters suggesting more aggressive action.

1. No war...help Ukraine with supplies and such if possible ...lots of sanctions...make Putin pay for

his aggression. I kind of hope Macron is being sent over in order to give Putin a face-saving out...

2. I believe that is what we are doing, yes?

Or prepared to do (leading vote).

3. Yes, Biden will decide what we do

But several posters have pointed out Russian troop concentrations give them an unusual vulnerability that we could/should take advantage of. It could cripple Putin for years if most of the Russian army is destroyed.

5. It is interesting to see

Some that inspired this poll answer differently than their posts.

4. We already did it by electing Biden.

Putin probably got this thing rolling on the assumption that Trump would be his patsy for another four years.

Politically Putin's got to save face however he can, but his plans are ruined.

This will be a train wreck.

That's why I chose "other."

6. It seems Putin's plan

Is not quite ruined yet

[hunter]

8. We've yet to see if this is a full scale invasion and occupation...

... or "Operation Saving Face."

Hopefully it's the later.

I don't pay any attention to our venal media for international news, most especially television.

7. Throw cement in Nord Stream 2. nt

9. Bleed them with Stingers and Javelin's and choke them with economic sanctions.

But not one inch of NATO territory.
