Our actions are retaliatory. A result of Putin’s actions. That keeps us righteous. Preemptive measures can look like unwarranted escalation which gives Putin credibility.
They did implement more. A lot more. More than ever in history with more to come. What do you want, full scale invasion?
Why do you work so hard against your own country and it’s Allies? Is there nowhere where politics can be left out of your thinking?
What I am pointing out is your gung ho approach is basically nothing more than you being political hacks. If Trump were in office you would be screaming bloody murder at whatever he did, even if they were same as what Biden is doing right now.
I am not working against us, just pointing out that the only reason we are having this discussion is Russia wasn't really ready for a full invasion, and that gave the West time to find it's balls.
Without that time, I have a feeling the western governments, the US government, and by proxy you guys would be singing a different tune right now.
And as for politics, if Biden were truly serious he would announce lifting of many restrictions on oil and gas production, plans for expansion of said production, and more work into increasing our nuclear and hydroelectric capacities. But he won't because of politics as he is beholden to the Green wing of the Democrat Party.
