Maybe we should all just accept on this thread that there is a variegated set of views on what the West can/should do in response to Putin's naked aggression.

To me, there is one indisputable given - Putin is 100% in the wrong - but there are many, many more uncertainties. I feel a sense of despair because I feel the World is probably at its closest to war than at any other point in my lifetime.

I'm just hoping that there is a lot more going on behind the scenes than is apparent in the media.
