Given the sanctions that have already affected their ability to get spare parts, I'm not sure who would want to fly on a Russian aircraft anyhow.

Innocents are dying and we are toying with a dictator! A bully!!! A war criminal!!!! Did we not make that mistake once before?!?!?!?

Work out a deal with Canada, yesterday, to get 65% or 75% of our oil from them and to hell with Russia!!! Then, place three nuclear aircraft carriers on station in the Western Pacific yesterday!!!

In WWII the world waited and watched, and 12 million were slaughtered around the world. We tolerated Stalin and his purge of 20 million in the Gulags during his reign of terror on his own people non-the-less. At the ostensible start of WWIII the world is waiting and watching and soon it may be too late because we waited.

While Article 5 is specific about a direct attack, what about an indirect attack, such as the Russian Army attacking a nuclear power plant that could impact the world far more than Chernobyl did if carelessly breached. Should a debate now take place in the EU to consider an indirect attack justification to also coming to Ukraine's aide? The potential for even greater disaster exists if the Russian army were to attack all of Ukraine's nuclear power including Chernobyl that is still hot. Then with the full EU onboard reengage the UN.

Some might say this kind of aggressiveness would be seen by Putin as well - aggressive! Well, that is true. So, tell me please what is the answer short of putting a sign on our backs that says - "Please kick me!" in Russian inviting Putin to kick us??? Again.

I ask provocative questions, to be - well - provocative!!!

No, I don't want WWIII either, but we don't need a Neville Chamberlain like behavior either appeasing a bully or a series of bullies!!! Just saying.....................................................
