Putin’s reality is the one we need to worry about, because Putin is the decision maker.
Also no, not Chamberlain. That implies you’re all Churchills but if you were all Churchills you’d have us fighting in Ukraine right now. Which leads me to my next question. If your contention is that we need to govern ourselves by what we think is rational and just, why are we not in Ukraine today fighting rather than just supplying arms? After all, Russia is probably just bluffing on the nuke front right?

Getting involved in a war with Russia right now is different than saying - if you invade or attack this country (after a peace is reached) then we will respond.
