I have only one question for Eliot, and every other observer. Does the West finally, finally understand that Putin must be vaporized, that this is the moment to galvanize and make that happen in by any and all means necessary?
I think so far, Molly McKew has best met the moment in describing what is at stake and the opportunity - the mandate - before us:
“But imagine the world if we save Ukraine. Imagine the century we might have then.
Ukraine is the crucial battle that will shape the century. The clash of ideas that we must win. Here it is, on a Ukrainian battlefield. It is this. From this moment, from victory in Ukraine, comes the stronger, better century that we hope for. If we miss it, it will not come again.”
Yes, the US / NATO must destroy Putin for invading Ukraine. But...I think they must do it with economic sanctions and do everything possible to avoid escalation to WWIII. If Putin escalates, fine - we do what has to be done to end him. But the US must maintain the high ground and do everything possible to avoid entering the war. This is a defining moment in geo-politics. If the West is able to destroy Russia without firing a shot, it is possible that this will be the end of war in our lifetime. How does any country justify the cost of an illegal war if they know their economy will be ruined and that their opponents will be provided enough munitions to devastate their military over the course of an attempted long term occupation? China has to be watching what the West is doing to Russia's economy and realizing that the cost of invading Taiwan would destabilize their country and possibly lead to regime change.
Sure thing. Whatever you want to call the “means” or the “shots fired” of this war. Like I said, any and all methods, tactics, screws, sanctions, materiel, money, intel. It’s all in for as long as it takes. We are already at war. Many argue this is Year 9. I’d like to see a definitive end sooner rather than later. Whether Mad Vlad remains breathing matters not, tho I do have a preference.
