The World Seems Pretty Much United Against Putin And His Ukraine Attack..... [View all]

So it the world countries are that much united against him - how does hitting back on Russia and Putin with all the force we can muster - foment a WWIII?

It would seem like - if a counterattack was engineered against Russia in a organized way with NATO and the UN - that it could bring Putin down on his knees relatively quickly.

I know Putin was making noise about 'nuclear' - but I think that's all it is - noise and bravado. He figures that people think him that unpredictable - that he can make threats and that the world would back down - because of his un-predictability. I don't think he's that stupid that he go nuclear - as that would assure his demise for sure.

So how does this escalate into a WWIII.

Don't you think we should call his bluff and put this bully in his place?
