They’re giving a shitload of arms and cash to Ukraine to help them fight off a nuclear threat that can wipe off a ton of people off the face of the earth with a button press.
All things considered, I think they’ve been doing the right move so far in just helping Ukraine push Russia out of their country. They’ve been doing a good job of it all year, and assuming it just keeps playing out at the rate we’ve seen it, they’re bound to take their territory back over the long term.
Meanwhile, whenever Ukraine manages to fight itself out of this mess and come to peace with all their territory back, Russia pretty much guaranteed itself to become the world’s economic pariah for at least a couple of decades.
I’d rather prefer an outcome where we just play the long game and minimize damage while slowly pushing them out over launching an invasion and then probably being drafted and either getting my ass shot on the front line or watching my friends and family be incinerated/irradiated by a nuclear blast.
