Riddle me this: how is the US saying “Russia better not invade Ukraine” a case of being -for- war? It feels like for some people trying to avert a war counts as warmongering and I really don’t get it.
NATO members haven’t issued “deterrent sanctions” that some hawks are calling for
US intel that’s made it into reports has all been about the things that Moscow -wants- to pull, neutralizing potential Russian pretexts
Ukraine isn’t gonna invade Russia, so what am I missing?

I’m just saying, there are some gaps in the logic here to get to “the US is spinning the media into a war between Russia and Ukraine”
what kind of wild reverse psychology op do people think is happening? “oooh I sure would HATE it if Russia invaded Ukraine. Looking all vulnerable and at risk and geopolitically important. nobody [knowing glance] had better launch a war! hint hint.”
One huge difference between Iraq and today is nobody in their right minds is arguing for a -preventative- war. I’ve yet to hear “we have to launch a strike Russia before it attacks Ukraine.” At most you have some arguing to sanction Moscow now, which also makes v little sense imo
anyway, barring some miracle that leaves Ukraine feeling secure against Russia and Moscow feeling chill towards NATO, the best case scenario for the US is Putin says “nah I’m good” and everything goes back to the status quo which is, to be clear, not war
