I've been hearing about humanitarian no-fly zones that Ukrainians can patrol--not the U.S. We already have NATO countries sending weapons. I think we need to act not react so much.
Putin has never had anybody say "no" to him. If we are going to do it, we need to do it in a way he understands--that requires an exercise of power.
We are already at war--it's all semantics at this point. This is what I think most of us are trying to say.
