17. unbelievable some of the 'armchair general' cray cray coming out of the woodwork for days

'cruise missile' Moscow and/or every Putin 'home' (or 'palace')

send in teams of assassins to kill Putin

limited (lol) nuclear strikes

send in NATO ground, air, sea troops to directly fight the Russians

seize all Russian property (not just oligarch owned, literally ALL) worldwide (or in the US, have seen both proposed)

round up and deport (back to Russia) all pregnant Russian women (wtf), regardless of dual citizen status or who is the father

use drones to attack the Russians because then we (NATO, US?) are not technically using soldiers (they forgot the operators I guess), so not actually 'fighting'

block ALL (including commercial) flights to AND from Russia, from and to ALL global countries (which would, of course, entail passenger jets being shot down, now THERE'S a winner!, smdh)

other assorted illegal and/or act of war claptrap, much of it sounding like a bad Tom Clancy novel








Gonna trust Biden's Admin who sees the big picture better than me. Hoyt Feb 2022 #1

It would be considered an act of war, so no. BootinUp Feb 2022 #3
Good lord, no. No direct confrontation. Wingus Dingus Feb 2022 #5
Disaster is unavoidable at this point. ColinC Feb 2022 #6
It's a limited war, confined to one country. Wingus Dingus Feb 2022 #8
It isn't though. ColinC Feb 2022 #11
There is a bright line, and that's an attack on a NATO country. Wingus Dingus Feb 2022 #14
That's a dangerous line to wait for imho ColinC Feb 2022 #16
We have troops in NATO countries right now just in case the madman attacks one Justice matters. Feb 2022 #18
At this rate I'm open to "attack" being very loosely defined. ColinC Feb 2022 #19
The madman will not do that. Justice matters. Feb 2022 #21
Unfortunately I don't think the madman has anything to lose anymore ColinC Feb 2022 #23
Let's doubt it. He's not winning in Ukraine. Justice matters. Feb 2022 #24
"No fly zones" are more or less acts of war. So, no. RockRaven Feb 2022 #7
I sure hope I'm wrong, but I don't think your last sentence is avoidable ColinC Feb 2022 #9
No, we should use a small yield tactical nuke or two to target Putin, his family and end this Shanti Shanti Shanti Feb 2022 #10
Kinda agree ColinC Feb 2022 #12
We may as well launch a full first strike against them DetroitLegalBeagle Feb 2022 #13
I could go for conventional cruise missiles if we get him out in the open Shanti Shanti Shanti Feb 2022 #15
Russian "silent" nuclear subs not far from our beaches too... Justice matters. Feb 2022 #20
That would still result in war DetroitLegalBeagle Feb 2022 #22
