I think that clown Hannity has finally lost his mind
That big column of Russian vehicles? He wanted us to sent aircraft in and do strikes on it.
Yeah, starting a shooting war with Russia, that's a GREAT idea!

We àlready declared war on Russia with the "sanctions" being imposed. The only real question left is when Russia decides they have no reason to not go kinetic. Sanctions are what tipped the Japanese to bomb Pearl Harbor. What's the tipping point for Russia?
What we/the US/or someone SHOULD do is a " Lend-Lease" of some A-10s or similar. Russia would be pissed but would look stupid as hell complaining since the US supplied THEM with weapons that were Lend Lease during WWII
Exactly. I can't imagine why we should listen to people whose entire premise rests on "Putin is stupid."
Putin is not stupid. If your assumption requires that at any point, it fails.
I think that Putin wanted the sanctions. I think it weakens the oligarchs in Russia who are a threat to him, and does nothing to Russia militarily.
I think that Putin wants NATO to try to enter the war. I think that he knows he has a fighting chance against NATO in a standup fight -- but I think he also knows that short of a miracle, NATO will shatter as soon as someone invokes Article V.
Any reasoning that relies on Putin being stupid is itself stupid.
We should make it unequivocally clear that we have no intention of prodding for regime change in Russia. The Russians are happy with a soft authoritarian government. Who are we to tell them differently any more than we should let Russia tell the US we should not be a liberal democracy? (Though recently, it seems the US is just another soft authoritarian government too.)
Well, we could go to war with Russia for ten years or so, kill and mangle thousands of US Military, spend trillions of dollars and if we lose, we'll leave trillions of modern weapons for them and ooodles of cash.
Or if we win, we can take control of Russia and put 80% of their civilians on US Welfare programs. What's not to like.

Levin is down with war too.
Awful lot of people seem to want us in said shooting war with Russia.

And a lot of the left now, if you point out he's not stupid, accuse you of 'acting for Russia'. THAT is stupid.

We should keep the US military out of this conflict. We have NO strategic interest in Ukraine.
We should tell NATO that we will withdraw the US if they continue trying to expand up to Russia's borders.

Inflicting sanctions on a country we're begging to buy oil from.
What could go wrong?
Putin may decide that elections in America are too important to leave in the hands of Americans.
Oh.
And Fuck Steve Cohen, whether I agree with him or not.
