were you against the Iraq war? It was a strategic blunder of the first order. We looked totally incompetent in both the Afghan invasion and in Iraq. We did more damage and created millions of refugees. I didn't hear Russians calling for a no-fly zone nor did Europe accept any refugees like now. War has been man's history and now that we have nuclear bombs that would potentially eliminate mankind through deadly radiation levels from two nuclear powers throwing over 10,000 nuclear weapons with enormous kill power. How can any sane person even consider ratcheting up the threat level? Especially when we have not used all other ways to put more pressure on Putin.
