Why does it seem that only the Ukrainians remember that the USA, Russia, UK and others all signed an agreement to honor Ukrainian sovereignty when Ukraine agreed to give up their nuclear weapons. The blatant obliteration of that agreement should give NATO rights to give MIGs and all other non nuclear weapons to Ukraine.

The right has nothing to do with might. We still want to not have the end of the world. Putin doesn't care. Either NATO capitulates, surrenders. Putin dies, or the world dies.
No. I think we all die. We have to decide what we will submit to to live. Speaking for myself, the things I will most regret about the end of our civilization is that we will never find the answer that dark matter and dark energy are. Stuff like that. But the planet without industrial civilization will go on, merely with the remnants of our species killing and enslaving each other with sharp objects instead of nuclear weapons. Today I am willing to finish it off if we run out to the end of the rope if Putin is what I suspect. I am just not going to pretend that there is some intermediate alternative. If Putin really means what he claims to mean, and some accident of fate does not intervene, then as soon as he fires off nuke crosses a border into a NATO country, there it is.
The rest of The world, when that day comes, may not agree. Let us not fool ourselves. Unless we are ready to surrender, if Putin is what he pretends to be, we will have to be willing to stand at Thermopylae. And take everything else with us.
I wish I could convince myself I am wrong. We arenтАЩt dead yet. As the man falling from the Empire State Building said as he passed the 50th floor, so far so good.

Craig Butcher so you want NATO to capitulate / surrender? Then what when Putin invades Romania - NATO capitulates to avoid Putins threats?

OK Graig. IтАЩm glad I donтАЩt live in your head no matter how this all turns out.
