Or do they lie down and submit to Putin's tyranny?* If my own city was being attacked by Putin I might be throwing Molotov cocktails at tanks too, but it is not so I'm not willing to risk my life , much less the life of the entire human race, on schemes that are not well thought out. *> Or do they lie down and submit to Putin's tyranny?* Of course not, nobody is suggesting we just lie down and submit to Putin, there are things that I think would be affective that we can do to oppose him and I've already listed several of them on this list, like stopping the transmission of goods from Russia that go thru Poland, and going after the hundreds of billions of dollars Putin and his cronies have have embezzled and stashed in western countries. And those measures don't seem likely to start World War III. And of course we should continue to send arms to help the Ukrainians defend themselves.
