Brandon J Weichert, Asia Times: US cannot afford a world war with Russia
Biden administration's renewed encirclement policy of Russia could backfire badly in Ukraine and beyond.
Russia’s autocratic strongman, President Vladimir Putin, finds himself in an unenviable position. He is deeply unpopular at home. An old political rival, Alexei Navalny, has returned home from abroad in an attempt to overturn Putin’s increasingly unpopular regime.

How is America being stretched thought Eurasia? We are leaving Afghanistan and Iraq. T
Well, thanks to Obama "sequestration" of the defense budget. Now we are very weak and can't help anything.
Well said in the article, there's nothing in Ukraine worth the bones of any American military personnel. Furthermore such conflicts have the tendency to not stay confined to the area where they began. I see nothing in Ukraine that's worth risking the lives of my loved ones.
Exactly, what conflict?
They guaranteed Ukraine's security when they gave up nukes. Ukraine will join nato, ukraine botders Russia, what's hard to get.
Don't stand up to piss weak iran (the fact that Israel acts with impunity highlights that fact)
Don't antagonise china, leave nth Korea alone...Chamberlain policy does not work long term.
B Poster,
Ukraine is worth a nuclear exchange and military installation and surrounding areas from the Gulf Coast to the Canadian border being turned to nuclear ash.
And of course everything west of the Urals. Not very Russian east of the Urals
