I think Volodymyr needs to stay the course. This is no joke. If they don't stop Russia, Russia will try to take the Baltics and more. Anyone who doesn't think so has not been following Russian media. It's one thing for Germans to worry about not having enough heat but it's another thing for them to wake up with Russian tanks on their border.

[b]Do you really think that Europeans wanted to send their kids to Afghanistan when the US came calling under NATO?  I imagine many felt the same as you---that was someone else's problem to solve. [/b] 
You would have been right at home with the 1930s America First ostriches who thought sticking their fingers in their ears would make Hitler go away.

NATO has kept the peace in Europe for roughly 75 years.  Putin wants to end his despotic rule by retaking as much former Soviet territory as he can.  The Baltics, with their coastline, are a prime target.  That's why they wanted to join NATO---they knew they were a target.

Naked aggression needs to be stopped in its tracks.  Otherwise it continues.  What George Bush did when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait was a masterful demonstration of how to get the global community to respond to that type of behavior.  He was right to push the Iraqis back to their border and stop.  That is what needs to happen here.   It's just trickier because Putin is nuts enough at this stage to try to use a nuclear weapon.[/quote]

Considering how Afghanistan ended, what European would have willingly sent their son into this war without a purpose and without results?

The Baltics, of all people, should be thanking USSR every day for gifting them vast chunks of land formerly owned by Poland. Without its stint in the USSR, Lithuania would have been a province of Poland.[/quote]
