    I had to check this, and it seems you are right?

    I don’t really blame anyone for not knowing. It wasn’t discussed much in mainstream media.

    When war was a reality, a lot of countries stepped up help a lot, but it took a while to arrive…

    Sadly true. Like many Americans if I’d had my way our response would have been faster and more direct. We have an outsized military for a reason and If I’d been the American President I’d have used that Big Stick to beat every Russian in your country to death. In two weeks Putin would have ceased trying and this would have been over and done with.

    You stop a bully by punching them in the face so hard they forget their name and that’s exactly what America should have done. You just needed 14 days of our Air Power and sadly we weren’t willing to lend it to you.

      Exactly, and honestly Biden hasn’t managed this situation as well as he could IMO. For instance the nonsense of Ukraine not being allowed to strike into Russia never made any sense IMO.
