I understand the spineless leaders of these organizations and countries love the press conferences, the lunches and patting themselves on the back and bragging about how well they are doing. Speeches of Putin paying the full price of American Military Power (STOU address) All this NATO talk about military spending, an attack on one is an attack on all BS is comical.
Seeing the back and forth and juggling of Polish airforce and US Airforce and the closing of the door on transferring the jets is the type of BS talk that Putin doesn't do. Everybody passing the buck and scared of their own shadow is exactly what Putin was expecting.
Like I said before, some leaders in history are spineless and other's make the decisions to get their message and their issue across.
Everybody sitting back and worried about the perception of escalating this war while Putin is actually escalating the assault and the war. Bombing children's hospitals and having huge numbers of Ukrainian military assisting the dead and wounded? Sure, why not? Who's going to stop us?
Slaughter is met with slaughter and when the levels of atrocities from Russia escalate to untold levels, maybe the worlds powers can than quit stroking each other off and maybe deal with the aggressor who is having trouble fueling his offensive.

At any given time, there are a dozen or more wars going on in the world. Some recent and ongoing examples: Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Mali, Syria, Yemen. In every one thousands of civilians a year are being killed. We intervene in few of them.
Ukraine is different because it involves a great power, it’s in Europe, most of the people dying are white, and it’s all being captured on social media. Which is why it has such a high profile, and why extraordinary aid is being delivered to Ukraine and extraordinary sanctions are being imposed on Russia.
This
is the West getting tough with an aggressor. If you want to see a lack of action and pushback, consider the Boko Haram insurgency in Western Africa (385,000 dead and counting) or the Yemeni Crisis (377,000 dead so far). The latter is the work of our pals in Saudi Arabia.
