How should west respond to potential (likely) Russian invasion of Ukraine?

[aupmanyav]

Putin is a sick rapid dog that needs to be put down.
Putin's Russia is a dictatorship where opponents are suppressed and jailed, there is no free speech, and no free press.
His constant bombardment of Ukaro9nin civilians is the act of an evil sick mind

Oh, go ahead and do that, if that is what you wish.
There are others in the US and China.
India still has a democracy. The government does not over-ride decisions of the Supreme Court and we have free press.
What else can he do when Ukraine aided by western arms bombs Russian sites?
There may come a time when he may use nukes in Ukraine and elsewhere.

On a number of threads you try to make India relevant, I get that.

Fighting between Pakistan and India has no effect on the greater world.

Putin's provocations by violating NATO airspace can lead to catastrophic consequences which will affect the world. War leading first to Russia using tactical nuclear weapons escalating to a nuclear war.

I know something about stress. Putin in public appears to be exhibiting extreme self control when speaking. Emotionless with a stone face. At the strat I would a clip of Putin and an intelligence leader.

Putin was at a desk on a platform. He was looming down on the officer asking questions. Whent he response was not what he wanted he went into a rage screaming at the man.

Behind the scenes I expect Putin is irrational and bouncing off the walls.

The pressure must be enormous. What he thought would be an easy conquest turned into a route durng the invasion. He has to resort to North Korean tropps and barganing for weopons.

The Ruissan ecomy is gven to war production.

What violating? Please elaborate.
Cause according to international law it was not, certainly it was not enough to shoot it down.
That is even we assume that NATO liars did not lie.

Oh jesus christ! Where can I get the world's smallest violin! Russia has bombed Ukranian cities to ruble daily for 3.5 years. Now Ukraine is starting to hit Russian cities a little, and you are advocating Nukes? Holy crap. Do you honestly expect Russia to bomb the shit out of a country, and they don't get any payback? Here's an idea, how about both sides stop bombing the other. How about peace? You can't fucking expect peace when one side continues the war. (Sorry to erupt on you, but I thought your comments above were out of character and absolutely ridiculous!).

How about IPAs instead?!! I need a drink to get over this! In the past week, Russia has launched 1,200 guided aerial bombs and 870 drone attacks at Ukraine. Since the start of the war, Russia has launched 9,600 missiles and nearly 14,000 attack drones into Ukraine. And we're whining about Ukraine hitting Russian cities now??

Sure, I can't drink anymore but I can enjoy it vicariously.

Neither does ours.
Our Supreme Court’s mandate is to be subservient to the Orange Moron. It’s a new idea for a liberal democracy, but look how well it’s working!

We knew when to stop. Would have stopped just with the first-day bombing (9 selected terror dens) had Pakistan not reacted.
A poker-face is a necessary attitude for the communist heads-of-states.
