I think at this stage that appeasement isn't working. Putin, like Netenyahu, grows bolder by the day and doesn't fear repercussions. Saying that, I don't think he has the balls to do anything if NATO decided to operate a no-fly zone across Ukraine to protect NATO allies. There's probably legitimate ...

Imagine if the US population actually had the intelligence to work out that that trillion will be really coming o...
