"So the choice was: Rattle Putin or discredit and weaken the President of the United States. And we know what they chose."

I've been a semi-lefty Democrat since about 1971. Dems were rather tough cookies back than and for a couple of decades thereafter. But this party has transmogrified into a bunch of milquetoasts over recent years. Afraid of Trump. Kowtowed to the left. Panties in a bunch over Putin. They've become a lazy party. All words and highfalutin speeches. Easily intimidated. Afraid of laying cards on the table and calling the bluff. Putin knows this. He's calling our bluff. And we've got zilch.

Meanwhile in Ukraine......

In some degree weakness plays a part but I really don't think it's the Left's fault completely. We had the last 2 decades of war...and nobody is really excited about going at it again with Russia. That being said...we are giving Putin a lot of rope to hang himself. We and the world will react, but it will never seem soon enough.
