Should have had troops pulling exercises and a no fly zone over sovereign Ukraine space while Putin builds up, and then you can surprise him and take them on their own turf.How exactly should the Russian attack on Ukraine be stopped?
Yeah, had the same thought when I read about it, and not to mention you have to eat from the same steak, with the same fork.... (I am a little picky about that)I don't really get food tasters. couldn't poisons take hours to take effect in some cases?
By pulling back on our imperialist self and pulling wayyyy back on the building of USA military bases around the world. Japan has wanted our military out of their country yetHow exactly should the Russian attack on Ukraine be stopped?

First, Russia should be removed from the Security Council.
Then, every member nation of the UN should have troops and equipment on the ground in Ukraine, in overwhelming numbers. These forces would seek out & destroy every last Russian killing machine they can find. But no operations whatsoever on Russian soil.
Putin would probably use nukes to defend the Russian homeland, but I don't think he would use them against a UN coalition operating against him strictly in Ukraine. That would be suicide and he knows it. I can't prove it, of course, but it's my strong belief based on everything I've read about the man.
Yep. We'll all be in the vicinity of Mars in a few billion years when the sun goes red giant, and will still be waiting for the UN to do something useful.The odds of that happening are literally less likely than the odds of you flying to Mars by flapping your arms really, really hard.
That's the same time Biden was warning of an imminent invasion and you guys were saying he was wagging the dog.I guess during the months of buildup of Russian forces along the border, the good guys should have realized the bad guys (such as the monster's foreign minister) were lying when they denied any invasion was planned.

If that were allowed, this thing would be over in a couple days. Russian troops would be sent back home in disgrace and Ukraine could begin to rebuild.
And which century would you be waiting for to employ this method of curtailing Putin?By eliminating nuclear weapons, and reforming the UN so that it could have the word condemn criminal wars started and collectively use force to defend those attacked - whether that means Putin attacking Ukraine or Bush attacking Iraq. Admittedly, that still leaves hard questions about how to remove the problem of brutal dictatorships like Saddam's or that in China.
But while it doesn't fix tyranny, it would help with the threat of nuclear war and invasions. However, the chances of these changes seem low, and the price innocent will pay for our not doing so it being paid by the people being killed in Ukraine.
On a more practical note, the way we're doing it is by providing massive aid to Ukraine and sanctions on Putin, while quietly creating massive pressure for the Russian leadership to remove Putin from power, recognizing that he's the cause of this.
It's sloppy but going better than we have any right to expect, and it's hard to see how to do much better while preventing nuclear war.

Putzin wouldn't use nukes, because that'd be the end of him and Russia. His nuclear dick-waving is a bluff. Plain and simple.Nope, your plan would leave Ukraine would be left a radioactive wasteland as the Third World War erupted around it.
There’s no “rebuilding” from that.
