We've seen this before. Since most seem to be agreeing (for now) we won't see NATO "boots on the ground," what is the purpose of Biden shaking his fist at the sky and yelling "he'd better not!", when asked about Putin using chemical weapons?

Publicly. Why would you do that?! He can't back up shit. Putin knows it. Democrats are the worst negotiators. Here's the evidence. Or they prefer war and it's just more lying, they make shit up continuously and high five each other about it. Not healthy.

Has anyone forgotten Obama's red line in Syria? It was a bluff. To over-extend the metaphor, he had a shit hand and played it very badly. It was embarrassing. Only the Iran deal surpassed such fuckery.

WHY do we keep repeating this dance? You know all those pipelines running across Ukraine, going to Europe? How hard would it be for Ukrainians to sabotage them?

That would smack Putin upside the head and harm Russia directly. It could happen, seems plausible to me. Then things would escalate and there'd be calls for "boots on the ground," once again.

👊Resist. We've seen crap like this play out ever since WW2's "total war." Civilians have reliably been the majority of victims in these big fights. Enough.
