    I said nothing about giving any country everything that they want.

    And Biden had plenty of opportunity to de-escalate the situation in the Donbas before it resulted in war, and he escalated it instead, just as he escalated the situation in the Taiwan Strait.

      Yet what you’re suggesting is to appease dictators whenever they issue threats and attack countries. Gee that worked so well with Georgia, Crimea, and now the rest. Putin is a war criminal, a crook and an incompetent statesman (see the deteriorating Russian economy years up until the Ukraine war). They were always going to steal land like the cancerous leech they really are.

        No, I was suggesting to de-escalate tensions and resolve territorial disputes peacefully and democratically before they spill over into armed conflict.

      I wish he’d done more. Neither Russia or China or both of them combined would do well against the US, even without NATO. They wont start a conflict.

        I suspect the opposite, but I’m hoping we never find out.
