Especially given the developments this weekend


If, on any issue, the West can't resolve things diplomatically with him


then yes, I'm sorry, I'd rather we stall him out than engage in armed or nuclear conflict


I think you're misunderstanding my intent tho

I'm not advocating complete and total capitulation so much as handling him like a psych patient


10-15 years isn't actually that long, especially in contrast to the number of years it would take our continent to recover if he succeeded in nuking us


But it's also possible he could die sooner than that if he's assassinated during war
