I am not suggesting that NATO actually get involved or that I want Canadian Forces being deployed directly to Ukraine or anything.

I do think this is evolving a hell of a lot quicker than anybody expected a week ago. 10-15 days ago it was all this UN chatter about diplomacy and peace talks and this just being a threat etc and now we are opening seeing civilians targeted and cities being torched.

Realistically what level of human suffering and tragedy is the the world going to accept in this scenario? I do think we need to quantify this so we are all on the same page. It seems the ground has really shifted very quickly with countries like Canada and Germany, who were VERY hesitant about sending arms, now sending Russian killing equipment.

God knows I have done a lot of rookie analysis on this thread like everybody else but at what stage does the global community just take Putin and his top generals out?

Sure if he attacks a NATO member you react, what about if that is accidental? What if that causes untold damage to said NATO member? What if 2 million Ukrainian's end up being killed in very short order? At what point is he just done so that this is all done?

I really do think some people are forgetting we are literally dealing with a crazed person who's done an insane level of damage, death and destruction in 20+ years.
