Another aspect that has gotten little respect is the red line laid out on the Eve of this military action. Putin’s address had a very direct warning for any foreign meddling. Last I looked, Blinken was arguing for Poland to send its MiG’s into the conflict as well as the Ukrainian jets that fled to Romania. That would broaden the war beyond Ukranian borders, into direct conflict with NATO countries, possibly triggering article 5.
That’s another scenario for this thing to end. Not one most sane people want to contemplate.

Given the record of the US with its foreign Interventions, I’m not optimistic what this week will bring.
