Bull-fucking-crap. If you truly believed in that, you would also have to support a NATO intervention in Yemen, Kashmir and a dozen places in Africa. We do live in a chaotic world and the U.S. or NATO trying to play the role of the world's policemen causes more harm than good.
If Russia truly invades Ukraine, there will be hefty economic sanctions, particularly by European countries since they are the ones who have a specific interest in deterring border violations in their backyard - but it's not reason enough to start a war with Russia or burn all bridges.
LOL! Thanks for the laugh, the news has been rather dreary and it's good to have some levity.
I don't think we need to go to war over this. We just need to cripple their economy so badly that they think twice before violating Ukraine's sovereignty. You might not know this, but placing troops in another country's territory is a violation of their sovereignty. You need a DAMN good reason to violate another nation's sovereignty and the Russians really don't have one.
Your country's reluctance to do the right thing shows that you're a pawn amongst the real players. It's a shame too because I think that Germany is capable of being THE leader of Europe but you've positioned yourself quite poorly. Hopefully Biden can keep your rogue government in line!
