There is already a war or two, just undeclared. Is it really better to let the aggressor keep attacking and killing while you sit and watch it happen thus sending signal to all others how weak you are?



It is impossible to tell if you are referring to Iran or Israel or maybe both.


I was of course referring to US. As Ben Hodges put it yesterday:

"We've got to muster the political will, industrial capacity, economic leverage, and military capability to defeat Russia first in order to isolate/deter Iran and deter China from making a terrible miscalculation."


No reaction to Crimea send clear message to Russia. US let Ukraine happen. No reaction to Iranian drones in Ukraine emboldened Iran resulting in 7the and now 14th. Again no response. Who will try next, NKorea or China?


> the aggressor

Which one are we talking about?

I think this sort of discussion is best left off HN.
