• Note that all of Rubio’s points were symbolic. Nothing with real teeth. Not that I mind that. 20:54
• To be clear, I’m not saying that those symbolic actions are wise or should be done, just that symb stuff better than more concrete things. 20:16
• IE: Haven’t heard yet anyone seriously suggesting moving NATO forces to aggressive postures. That would be BAD. 21:17
• Everything at this point should be about deescalation and avoiding bloodshed. Other concerns should be secondary or tertiary. 21:19
• So aggressive US responses not useful, probably counterproductive. Well… Mostly. There is a balance. I am clearly on the side of restraint. 21:24
• Obviously calculus changes the further Putin goes, but unclear what actions really would make a positive difference at this stage. 21:28
