If only... If only we would just cave, maybe everything would be fine (I don't know).
At least it's not clear that fighting will solve anything.
- int_19h 5y agoWhy would it be fine? If you just cave, you tell Putin that he can take whatever he wants, so long as he threatens to nuke you if you don't let him. And all this talk about NATO being the "red line" is not particularly believable in context, either - I sincerely doubt that, if Russia threatens e.g. Latvia, US would be willing to risk escalation then if it doesn't do so now.
