Do you not understand the concept of deterrence through strength or are you being intentionally dense?

Do you believe for one second that Putin stops with Ukraine if NATO and the US weren’t standing in his way?

Like others here it has to do with my Grandmother - one of my earliest memories was me, about 2, riding in the front seat of a car, and looking over at my grandmother driving and she smiled at me.

This was in the 1960s so kids could ride in the front seat and I probably wasn’t even wearing a lap belt, certainly no car seat.

My grandmother stopped driving not long after that, so I never saw her drive a car except for that one time and I can still picture her face smiling at me.
