I deny you the right to put words in my mouth. I also note that the discussion was about Russia vs. Poland (a NATO member), which is rather a different situation than Russia vs. Ukraine. Your reply is therefore a non sequitur as well as a rather shady rhetorical move.

All that said, I do in fact support giving Ukraine what it needs in order to defend itself. I think that is in fact a worthy and noble goal.

I misread you (having been triggered by things other people have been saying about the topic).

My mistake, but it was not intended rhetorically.

Yeah, I was just catching up on one of the branches of the conversation that have been triggering you. I, um, understand why you might be triggered...

And, you know, I've never over-reacted or misinterpreted someone. Never. Um... at least not today... um, well, uh...

I also was a bit hair-trigger in my reply to you. In particular, you gave pphysch more grace (the first time) than I gave you.

No worries + thanks for clarifying.

I do need to remind myself to slow down and check both GP and parent before responding (which is what I didn't do here), so it's all good, really.

> In particular, destroy everything Russia puts over the border, and maybe even everything it's staging in an offensive posture near the border, but don't invade Russia.

Oh, I wouldn't go that far. In fact, I think you could occupy as much as 80% of Russia. As long as you make sure that Putin and his friends were left alive and in charge of the remaining 20%, they wouldn't do a thing.

Current Russian nuclear doctrine says otherwise. I do not want to push on that to see if they're bluffing, thanks.
