Maybe the West will react after the terrorist russians blow up a chemical plant? Nah, will take years to investigate. Wouldn’t want a “knee jerk reaction”.

Maybe after the terrorists unleash a dirty nuclear reactor incident? Nah, could have been an accident.

Maybe after a tactical nuke is used (if they can find one that still works)? Nah, those sneaky Ukrainians probably stole it.

The russians… and the feckless West… can do thus forever.
