    I understand the reluctance to demilitarize, but… what’s the alternative? The Regime has made it crystal clear, they have said it in plain English while being recorded, that they are going to escalate the violence including toward NATO allies.

    Assuming the US isn’t able to get him under control, which has certainly been true so far, then the only courses of action available to world powers are to fight back or to bend the knee.

      NATO? Allies? NATO is long past dead - USA isn’t going to anyone’s aid. And the nearest to an ally - that’d be Russia.

        Saying “NATO allies” is a lot easier than listing a bunch of countries, and it communicates what I want to communicate efficiently.
