In boxing you do not win by taking punches and not throwing any punches.
That is the Russian strategy. They punch Ukraine and warn Ukraine not to punch back.
To try to obtain acquiescence to these rules Lavrov or Medvedev routine go on TV and mouth off like belligerent middle school boys or Greta Thunberg.
When the enemy is launching missiles are you missile platform, you have to launch at theirs. If their is is in Russia, out of bounds according the the aggressor Russians, you have a choice to make. go big or go to filtration camp.
It is time for the UN to declare war on Russia. If the UN cannot, then it is time for the UN to be defunded and disbanded. Declare war on the aggressor Russia anyway.
Sounds like the balloon is up, or at least getting ready to go up
