as opposed to proactive policy, i appreciate this fairly heavy step. they sanctioned a number of different entities that will be impactful and they're signalling they have more. with regards to taking appropriate actions to deter russian aggression, i think we're well shy where we need to be. the sanctions are not going to be a deterrent. if anything, the way they're sequenced right is more punitive sanctions. so russia does this. the u.s. and the west take this kind of action and response to punish him. what i would think is a series of deterrent actions or proactive actions ahead of russia's activities might be called for. so, you know, we know the russians are getting ready to engage in a major offensive, we probably should be preparing our european allies to defend themselves or at least to signal that the u.s. will be behind them defending them.
