My post was in relation to war crimes and making sure that when this does end that the appropriate people are charged with war crimes. If the people who's sole job is to do that, can't do that, than what the hell are they actually doing?
Putin has planned in a lot of ways for this for years. The rest of the world is responding and on the defensive. The next little while is going to prove very telling to see where the west actually is on certain issues and will have to adjust accordingly one way or another, which to the west's credit, more so than some expected.

I don't know any people wanting to not only attack Russia but to possibly act as dirty as they are.
you specifically said
" we will probably have to respond and the question will be asked, why not sooner?
Sometimes in life you can either be first, smarter or even dirtier than your opponent. Sometimes it's a hell of a lot easier to just be first and ahead of the game."
that's a lot more than than wanting people held accountable for war crimes.
you seem to want NATO to not just respond to what Russia does, but to attack them first, and damn the consequences.
some of us are saying that's the worst possible response.
