I suspect a response would be similar to what Trump did to Syria when they used chemical weapons. Cruise missile strikes wherever the attack originated.
NATO does not impose sanctions. It's a military alliance.
Kinda feels like you are reaching a bit here. NATO countries have been the main group of countries to impose sanctions. Seems like semantics to me.
But frankly I am glad he said this, Putin needs to know that there are consequences for his actions and he cannot continue to murder innocent people for no valid reason. Stop murdering people!!!!
This whole thing disgusts me.

Pointman is seriously no worse than all the dumb Americans with their Support our Troops bumper stickers and all the, 'let's fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here' bs when the USA attacked and destroyed Iraq. A certain type of guy will just rally around "the cause" for the their country. We've seen it ourselves when our main ally decided to go completely fataing nuts and destroy a country for no justifiable reason. Hell, there were Canadians - usually the right-leaning ones - who also supported ruining Iraq.
It's weird how as you get older you just see this same #### over and over. Depressing.

Or he's someone who lives in a different country and has a different worldview than you do, who is being fed (and likely has for years) a steady diet of lies and propaganda by his government and society and is scared that his country just started a war that is pissing off pretty much everyone else on the planet and doesn't know what to think. I see him asking a lot of questions in this thread, which many of us are taking as contrarian because we're very emotional about this situation, but I do not see him supporting Putin or rushing to "rally around the cause" for his country - in fact most of his comments have indicated a clear lack of support for the actions of his government.
To be clear, my wife's whole family is Ukrainian and I am very firmly on team Ukraine here. What Russia is doing here is heartbreaking, disgusting, immoral, and in many cases straight-up evil. I will be the first one to take up the "#### Putin" chant, but I don't know if it's fair to jump on a guy who (I think) has been a pretty solid member of this community because he is offering different viewpoints. Admittedly a lot of it doesn't make sense to me either, but I'm not in his position. If I lived in a country where my President had just started an unjust and inhumane invasion and alienated the rest of the world, I might be a little worried about if & when the bombs were going to start falling on my head too.
