This is Putin we're talking about. i think you can cut me some slack
It is horrendous what is happening in Ukraine, however, rightly or wrongly, there is no appetite for prolonged war in Europe. Most people have somewhat of an idea of what that entails. Just to give you an idea, there's like, 15 or so places in the UK that lost *nobody* during both world wars. In France, there's ONE.
Forget Soldier's point about war being expensive (although he's not wrong, but that's not how I approach it) war is BLOODY. At the start I had the feeling that if it was a drawn out affair I thought for sure the rest of the continent would be dragged into it, however, with every passing day it seems more and more likely that it will end soon, and that Ukraine will be victorious. Hopefully it's the case, but right now the best we can do is provide aid, get all the women and children out, and carry on with sanctions, which are absolutely having an affect on Russia.
Honestly I was appalled with what I read, it's the height of American arrogance to suggest go bombing in a country thousands of miles away when they will not feel the affects AT ALL. In Europe we're still dealing with unexploded WW2 bombs all over our cities (my car was a victim of one) and you wanna subject the continent to that again? Get over yourself.
