    Personally, i think the only good plan is if they send in some black ops (or whatever they’re called) and “remove” some of the Russian government. Especially its head of state.

    But thats just my humble opinion.

      That would be interesting, but more likely outcome is; “weeelll we drew this line in the sand, why don’t we just draw it a little further back. And then we wait and see what happens”. Pretty sad of you ask me

        don’t know where I read it but a commenter left this glorious piece in one of the discussions about this entire thing: “The russians will be marching into Berlin while NATO is considering whether invoking article 5 would be seen as too much of an escalation”

        I can’t with our politicians anymore. Apeasement has not worked in the past and it should by now be clear to everyone involved that it currently is not working either

          If rockets were falling on cities in Texas, killing people by the thousands, month after month, it would be a priority.

          Somehow, because it’s Ukrainians dying, it’s important to carefully gauge how much we want to fight back, because we wouldn’t want to make anyone upset. And we have other things to worry about. If the burglar was in our house, though, beating our family to death, it would be different.

          Sounds about right.
          And thinking about it, sure you can’t expect them to reveal whether they are doing anything in return, if it’s secret/covert. But since we haven’t really heard of anything that had negative impact happening in years, it’s more likely that fuck all is being done.
