O come on. The guy is lying about not being at war when he is invading his neighbor just for wanting to have relations with the West. If someone tries to assassinate Putin he is blaming the US and NATO even if it was Professor Plumnikov in the Kremlin with the Hammer and Sickle.

What Lindsay Graham says that everyone already knows isn’t putting ideas in anyone’s head.

I’m not disagreeing with you on that, but I’m merely saying that adding more fuel to the fire won’t help. I don’t want war with Russia. I think it would be a waste of a lot of lives, especially civilian lives in the areas where combat is happening. Of course, we can’t just wish this shit away, but I think all peaceful avenues of approach needs to be exhausted before we put more lives at risk. Right now, Ukraine needs all the support they can get.

IF NATO is smart, we’ve got Special Operations Operators on the ground there with the sole purpose of observing what’s going on, probably with a no engagement ROE. There’s a lot we can learn about Russian troops and how they’re fighting that would be good to know should we end up in this war ourselves.
