But that’s not an answer is it
The question is if the only thing they would stop this is military action is this something you’d want that’s the question yes or no
Me no under any circumstance no
You say no to military intervention and Ukraine gets taken over. So Putin goes after places like Moldova. He's already threatened Finland and Sweden. So then this happens all over again and once again you say no to military action and every time it emboldens Putin to go further and further. This will not stop until Putin is stopped somehow.
I'm hopeful that the sanctions will have an effect and that Ukrainian resistance will last long enough for questions to be asked of Putin by his own people. The anti-war protests across Russia show a small but promising lead in that direction and the longer it goes on the more people will question Putin and he might be brought down from within.
If not, like Hitler he'll just push further and further until action is necessary. I certainly don't want it but I feel it may end up being unavoidable one way or another.
