re: Is the fact that there are not mass protests

Better to put a stop to Putins expansionist desires in the Ukraine and let their people fight them than to take them on in Finland or Poland or Germany with Nato personnel. Need to not start a precident that all they have to do is make nuclear threats and we go running with our tail between our legs. What would be the point of our huge military spending and nuclear capabilities if we fold at the first minor bluff.
