Russia is doing what they're doing regardless.
Not the time to be weak but time to hit them with whatever hammers you have and not give Russia the time to complete their plan.

I think your interpreting my point here as continued appeasement. That’s not what I’m saying though. What I mean is we should apply sanctions to choke the Russian economy, and make things incredibly difficult, but not outright destroy them. If you take the more drastic course, you make Putin desperate and that’s incredibly dangerous, because while they’re desperate they’re still capable of horrific damages and actions. You don’t want to put them in a position of having nothing to lose, so they choose the worse option for everyone.
