1. Oh no. We shouldn't allow this because

Pootin might use nukes. Better just lay back and enjoy it. Don't struggle. I'm sure when he's done raping and pillaging Ukraine he'll be satisfied.

[Sherman A1]

3. You are free to call the Ukrainian Embassy

And volunteer your services to their efforts.

I am for one more than a bit concerned about the potential of this going from a very bad limited war to a global catastrophe.

[48656c6c6f20]

5. Don't you worry

As long as we appease Pootin he will come here and conscript us all. All he has to do is keep threatening nukes.

[Sherman A1]

10. I fail to see how we are appeasing the Russians in any way, shape or form

but, if that is what you want to believe.... knock yourself out.

I will trust the Biden Administration to navigate this storm.

6. Don't tell Ukraine it is a bad limited war.

It's their world that is being totally destroyed!

[Sherman A1]

11. Yes, it is exceptionally bad for Ukraine

It is however at this point contained and not a world wide catastrophe, which would make things worse for a huge number of people across the globe including here.

12. ....

If you want US/NATO boots on the ground or a CAP, then my suggestion is for you to haul your behind down to the nearest Ukrainian Embassy and volunteer for combat duty in Ukraine fighting the Russians.

Put your money where your mouth is .

[48656c6c6f20]

13. Ahh. Don't worry

After enough appeasement Pootin can conscript you also.
And not one to brag about their past military service, as some are inclined to do, maybe I already have. So thanks for the advice MarineCombatEngineer.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

14. You think you're being cute,

but in reality, you're not.

I stand by my post.

[Sherman A1]

2. I would like to see them ejected from the UN

Entirely.

[NCjack]

4. No, we should just let Putin "feed" on smaller nations. He will eventually be satisfied, and

he will have NOT used his nukes. Besides, with just the little pieces of eastern Unkraine that he is occupying, that makes him too big for us to risk stopping him.

[BlueIdaho]

7. They should be removed from the Security Council too

Permanently.

[Dial H For Hero]

8. That would require a vote from the security council, and Russia has a permanent veto.

[BlueIdaho]

9. It should be argued

That the seat belonged to the USSR, not Russia - so by rights they never held the seat in the first place.

It’s worth a shot.

15. Russia took that seat unopposed

I don't see any way to take it back at this point.
