He'll probably be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.
He should be.
You pay the butcher's bill up front, If you are skittish about it, you pay way more later.
So the actions he is proposing might save lives.
Besides, if Obama is qualified for the Peace prize, then anyone is.

Easy for yhis guy to say. He will not be on the receiving end of the return volley. irresponsible politician
What!? They HAVE the means. They have a small border area with Russia already and could target positions and logistic supply lines. They just have been told not to so Russia does not have any legal reason to expand the war. Like they could do anything anyway, but that’s a different discussion.
Yes they have the means. But ots souch noce to encourage your neighbor to do the dirty work so he will get clobbered instead of you when the counter strike comes.
That way you can go home to your untouched Dacca and enjoy: heat, running water, good hot food and a soft clean bed without being disturbed by this silly little war.
