it’s time for NATO to commit troops to this. I know it’s easy for me to say behind a keyboard, but fuck, so far what we’ve offered by way of pushback is pretty thin gruel. The Ukrainians are doing the best they can, but unless we would like to have the lesson for the world from this be that eliminating your nuclear weapons and having a democracy will get you overrun by your neighboring madman, it’s time to kick some ass.

It’s not having a democracy that subjects you to possible overthrow or invasion, it’s not having nuclear weapons. I doubt we would have been so eager to invade Iraq if Saddam actually possessed them.
