Sounds like something a scared 18yo would say when he's worried he's about to end up in a shallow grave.

Agreed but they can't meet in Minsk. I don't think Baku is any better. Zero chance Putin goes to Ankara.

It's becoming increasingly obvious that Russia staying in the Ukraine (if they even can) will lead to more than just sanctions.  I honestly believe that despite all the warnings, most of Europe still thought the invasion would never happen, it was all bluff, or Ukraine would fold like it did in Crimea.  When Ukraine actually stood up for itself, a lot of people suddenly remembered Munich '38 and how well appeasement worked out that time

Bad idea. What we're doing is fine, provide support with weapons and intelligence. Hit the Russians with economic sanctions.

The Russian people will feel very differently about Americans essentially rolling in and performing a massacre of the Russian army than the defeat of the Russian army by Ukraine due to the absolute incompetence of Putin. The difference between supporting a stupid war, and perceived self defense come into play. If we overtly enter Ukraine, while the Russian military is stumbling and weak, we would be giving the Russian talking point about NATO aggression and no choice but to initiate this war in "self defense" a lot of ammunition.

We're all a bit baffled at their "strategy".  They don't seem to have an objective, its like they didn't expect resistance.  Laziest invasion ever!  Military super power my ass.

Don't take that last sentence out of context.

Did Russia, after the USSR fell, throw away all of their war doctrines, and training?

The way this has gone, as presented thus far, is so haphazard, or seemingly so...I'm questioning the West's stances for the last 50 years, or so.
