> Look, nobody has any doubt that USA is very powerful.
Russia obviously doubts. All that power is useless if you are afraid of using it. Russia conquered Crimea in 2014 without firing a single shot in the best spirit of Sun Tzu because everyone else was so deathly afraid of what might happen that it utterly paralyzed them.
Congratz on being far away. I live next to a strategically important rail bridge that will get hit by a missile in the next round if Putin is not stopped in Ukraine. I don't think appeasement is going to achieve that.
You still don't get it. Do you doubt that Russia is powerful? Hence, the diplomacy.
> strategically important rail bridge
That's kind of the problem isn't it? Strategic assets near Russia (I think it's safe to assume the aforementioned bridge isn't in Albuquerque, New Mexico) is concerning to them.
Every country involved is protecting their own interests.
I have no sympathy for any of the governments involved. On any side.
However, I hope that you and your family would be safe.
