  1.  @dantesk8  Actually, he gives a very good look into Putin's psyche, which explains why this is happening. Although I think he should have given the reason why Ukrainians DON'T want to be part of a new Russia. And there are a LOT.

  2.  @gsman123  Sure it would. In fact, Trump would have sat back and done nothing because he admires Putin.

  3. To be fair, I was hoping that Putin wouldn't invade either. I thought Putin was smarter than this, but obviously not.

  4.  @Magicarpas  They almost did, twice. Supporting the Bay of Pigs invasion by Cuban nationals and staring down Khrushchev Castro during the Cuban Missile Crisis were offensive operations. And I guess you could also count the invasion of Cuba during the Spanish American war. But technically, American forces have not invaded Cuba since 1898.

  5.  @coreyholt9032  As a foreigner, I would say the only reason that Biden hasn't been a better president is largely due to a partisan Republican party controlling the Senate and blocking the passage of most legislation. If the Republicans were voting for their constituents and not along party lines, Biden might bet more done.

  6.  @gidster840  It didn't work out too well for the Austro-Hungarian empire in the end, either.

  7. The issue is going to be if he decides to go after the Baltic countries of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania next. They are part of NATO, unlike the Ukraine. Add to this the fact that Sweden and Finland have made noises about joining NATO in the last few months because of Putin's posturing, and things could get rather nasty.

  8.  @loturzelrestaurant  What does that have to do with this thread?

  9.  @josiahclark5259  And they can do ... what? Land troops in a foreign country without permission? Perhaps more importantly, send in soldiers as cannon fodder because they lack the time to prepare positions and get their logistics in place? Remember, Ukraine is not part of NATO, so Canada and the US have no ability to get involved at such short notice. Their hands are tied.
