Quite right you may think, but what happens if Russia goes into a small NATO country like Latvia, does the same agenda of not extending the war by avoiding any engagement with the Russians still apply? If not, then why should it be the reason we're not fighting this tyrant off now before he goes even further, which he undoubtebly will.

Maybe Biden already knew there was about to be bigger fish to fry by pulling out of Afghanistan. So needed to pull out troops to use elsewhere.

Just my opinion.

BTW, I was watching some videos on Putin's wealth last night, I can't believe how rich he is, he literally believes he personally owns the whole country and it's entire contents ...known to him as his beloved Russia...what unbelievable confidence!

I've been thinking the exact same points, actually.

The main concerning issue here is that millions of people are going to die ..why, because their country was not a member of NATO

BUT then people who live in a NATO country will be defended to the last drop of blood...this makes no rational sense to me.

The raw truth is, we're all in this together, we all go down on the same lifeboat of hope, and that is a truth that most people turn a blind eye to.

Putin has played a very clever move on the proverbial chess board so to speak...in a cowardly sort of way. But then bullies have always been known to be inner cowards.

I don't think NATO was set up in an altruistic manner. To me it seems little more than a protection racket, or perhaps more politely, an insurance policy, set up the largest arms dealers in the world to get others to buy their weapons. One of the things that worries me about this is that we all know what insurance companies are like when it comes to paying out!
