Many historians have criticised the US for waiting 828 days before entering World War II to defeat Adolf Hitler.
Today, we are at day 777 of the Ukraine war, and I wonder if the US will beat the 828 day record, before finally deciding that Vladimir Putin must be defeated.
@randahl For Ukraine, it's a war they've been fighting since 2014, when Crimea and Eastern Ukraine were both invaded, so more than 777 days.
The best way to avoid the risk of having NATO boots on the ground is to arm and train Ukraine to a higher level, and stop telling them not to attack military assisting infrastructure within Russia. Harder to fight with one hand tied behind your back when your adversary is happy to attack civilian targets directly.
@randahl Not to mention how it took them 3 years of WWI before finally feeling involved and seeing where their country's and citizens' interests were... in 1917!
@randahl
US and/or NATO should gone in with a strike force and secured the nuclear plant as soon as Russia took it over and started sabotaging it. I can't believe this was allowed. Mind boggling. After the dam destruction, the sky should have been closed. No boots on ground required. I just found out there are 100 patriots available? WTAF! I feel so sick today. I really hate Congress right now. What pigs. The most disturbing are the progressive who won't sign the discharge petition. 🤬

Every fricking day our lives are poisoned and overtaken by the biggest conman the WORLD has ever seen.
I want a normal life again. One without that fucker.
@otownKim I think we would all like Biden to come out to the press and say “We got him.”
However, government analysts have likely been evaluating scenarious and risks involved.
It could be, they see a risk of Russia becoming a rogue state with multiple warlords, each of which have nuclear weapons. They could perhaps see a scenario, where China immediately try to occupy Russia, and then what do we do?
I do not know the scenarios, I am just arguing that they exist and may be the reason.

The problem is #putinism and putinism won't automatically die with #putin . Ideas die harder than names. Systems die harder than humans. @randahl
