They're already setting us on fire

  My point is that you might want to fight fire with eg water. So you can fight back, but you don't need to necessarily copy your adversaries tactics.

    Indeed I think the west is better sticking to pushing for rule of law, secure borders, human rights and the like. IMO on Ukraine they should have said invading a basically peaceful democratic state to grab its land is unacceptable and we'll support Ukraine winning and taking their land back with whatever weaponry necessary. Instead of the wishy washy, no real goal, drip feed some weapons to get a stalemate where Russia keeps some land. Why still no f16s two and a half year in? Why can't Ukraine hit the airfields they are bombed daily from and so on? Why won't the US govt say they'd like Ukraine to win? Even if they don't, just saying it would be a good tool to scare the Russians into better negotiations.

      It's even worse: Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. It's now 10 years into this conflict.
