Except the following were red lines that nooks were ooked about:
>ATGMs
>HIMARS
>AFV
>Patriots
>F-16
>Invading russia proper
>hitting refineries
>attacking the Kerch bridge
The problem is the previous administration was run by a senile old man who thought russia was the USSR still and had a foreign officer who genuinely thought russia would escalate. Note that once they lost the election the Biden administration dumped as much shit as they could into Ukraine.
>what about Trump
Not only is he a coward, he owes his literal ass to Russia and worships the idea of a strong man autocratic that can do whatever he pleases and nobody can insult. On top of that he views Ukraine as personally betraying him because they didn't give him what he wanted in 2020 regarding Hunter Biden. He's also a senile retard that thinks russia is the USSR.
Now a radiological attack by a rogue state? That has to be treated as equivalent to a nuclear strike because if it isn't then suddenly everyone is going to do it.
>the US is too afraid
Of making an example of a global pariah whose only friends are russia (lol) and China? Russia isn't going to risk open conflict with the US and the Chinese economy is so deeply tied to western markets they'd be committing suicide. Over what, a gas station? Fun fact, someone else can pump oil out of Iran and sell it to China, they don't need population centers to do it. All Iran is asking for is to become past tense.
>existential threat
Except the people of Iran, their culture, their language, their idea of a nation state isn't on the line here. The power of a theocratic dictatorship is. Either way they're gonna get beat like a drum it's just a matter of how big the hammer is going to be.
