What should our response be if Russia invades Ukraine?

Guys - This is not the viewpoint forums. That went away. Remember no politics on this forum.
This thread is skirting it a bit, but I think it's important to discuss. And so far, most discussions have been civil and not dveling into
but Biden, but Trump[, etc. Let's keep it to the war, and not get into nit picky nonsense about Trump or Biden or whatever politician.

The Western Civilization class I took at Carolina was one of my favorites. There is a lot of history in this part of the world.
There are plenty of discussions that can be had along those lines as well.

UKRs are now retaking some lost ground. I can only hope this doesn't go back and forth.
Interesting pic from Twitter. Seems some RU units are out of fuel & food and blocked from re-supply.

No you don't. You just need to listen to people whose job it is (or has been) to be that expert.
There are also reports starting to surface that some Russian soldiers are suffering from frostbite. They have totally botched this operation from a logistical standpoint.
Leaked audio: Russian officer says half his soldiers have frostbite
On Tuesday, the Ukrainian military shared what it said was an intercepted call from a Russian officer leading invading troops in the Ukrainian city of

Russian Troops Are Now Turning on Each Other. ‘It’s a Sh*tshow,’ One Soldier Is Recorded Telling Another.
“Even in Chechnya, there was nothing like this,” a soldier told a pal in an intercepted call, and reports emerge of another getting so fed up he ran over his colonel with a tank.
The bodies of Russian soldiers are piling up in Ukraine, as Kremlin conceals true toll of war
The first warm, sunny days of spring in the southern Mykolaiv region are ushering in a grim new reality: the smell of the dead.
Ukraine has offered up refrigerated rail cars to transport dead Russians soldiers back to Russia. They went unused.
Had he not already invaded this country once before, so this invasion is worse than the first? I don't distrust media, I distrust reports and rumors as well as opinion reported as fact... all of the aforementioned discussions were assumptions or opinions. The report from UK intel or the assumption he didn't perceive a long war, any sanctions, any defiance from Ukraine...
So they were saying they would invade 11 months before it happened or they were calling them military exercises? The Wikipedia shared on this forum states this started in 2014, so maybe war experts in 2013 didn't call them military exercises before the invasion...
Ok, some experts disagree, war experts remind me of mask experts...
War is hell and the fact a leader went to war makes them unpredictable. Lets listen to what experts think a man, who hasn't sat within 40 ft of another human in public in years is thinking, since it is thier job it must be right and beyond reproachWho is they?
The Russians started massing troops on the border with Ukraine in March '21. Russia annexed the Crimea in 2014 and has been supporting Russian separatists in Ukraine for years. This is information that is easy to find without questioning "media" or "experts" with political agendas.
Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, the experts call it annexing, semantics. Maybe they are annexing the rest of Ukraine now. Russians started military exercises on the border with Belarus in late 2021, "they", the experts had a name for it and believed it was due to the unrest in Ukraine, not a peep about an invasion!
Who are the experts? I've heard it's also experts that claim the earth is flat and that we never landed on the moon.
I have been reading your posts in this thread. And honestly, I am not sure what kind of point you are trying to argue....
I used your Wikipedia link, followed links in the Wikipedia article...
This is an information war, did we not invade a sovereign country and occupy it for how long, more than once? Would the UK and our government
not want all citizens to hear how bad the Russians are treating soldiers, how terrible Russia is killing civilians, how the Russians are incompetent? Did the Ukranian president threaten Russia with military force that he would take back Crimea? Did NATO have "military exercises" around the Russian border leading up to the invasion? I'm not arguing, I'm asking questions concerning the reports and intel being posted, trying to make sense out of a senseless act of aggression and hoping it ends peacefully!
