[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why didn’t the good guys amass troops and weapons on the border and attempt to dissuade Russia from invading? We had weeks of intel.

Why did the world sit on its hands for a few days to see how this would play out before offering weapons? France just offered. Biden just offered $350M assistance (whatever that means).

If Zelensky survives and retains control, he will be an emboldened leader—and he will have every right to be upset with the world powers who abandoned him.

Super curious if Sean Penn will interview Putin. Can’t believe he’s over in Ukraine filming a documentary of the invasion. Zelensky thanked him for his courage. [/quote]

Because if it had been "just the tip", the western world would have just let it happen as we did with Crimea. Our president said about as much in his speech. Few people thought that Putin would actually do a full invasion.

The bravery and resolve of the Ukrainian people are truly astounding to me. They were not standing around protesting with signs asking where is the rest of the world. They hoped and asked for help but didn't demand it. When it became apparent that help was not coming, they just took it upon themselves to fight against what is arguably the 2nd or 3rd most powerful nation on earth in terms of military power. I think this action was a slap on the face of all western nations that stood by, refusing to implement sanctions against Russian banks initially because they cared more about gasoline prices. This was far more powerful of a gesture than actually demanding other countries to help. It is shameful, absolutely shameful, that the western world took so long to respond. [/quote]
