Nothing needs to be explained, we have no business being involved. You're the one stuck in a Cold War mindset and your solution is to make it an actual shooting war, one that you noticeably refuse to participate in yourself even when given repeated opportunity to do so. Just accept that you're a little chickenhawk who wants other people's children to die for your beliefs and that because of that not one single thing you say matters.

I get that you don’t care about Russian aggression. Prior to world war 1 and 2 no one cared about German aggression as they rolled smaller countries up either. And each time we ended with a world war. We then ended up with a Cold War with the Soviet Union , the result of Russian aggression . Which also cost American lives ( Vietnam /korea) and had us on the brink of nuclear destruction a number of times.

And now we again face an authoritarian aggressor from Russia. A man who longs to build Russia back to the Cold War era. That thrived during that era. Thats already attacked America with cyber attacks on infrastructure. And they have tried to influence our elections.

We either stop Russian aggression now. Or we face another larger war that might cause the destruction of the world as we know it.

I ask you again as you failed to answer.

Explain in detail how pausing aid to Ukraine and suspending cyber attacks on Russia will send a message to Putin that he should withdraw troops from Russia and seek peace

I'll answer again as you fail to understand basic English. I don't care if Putin withdraws or seeks peace. I don't care if Ukraine loses. I don't care if they parade Zalensky down Khreshchatyk Street in chains and string him up on the banks of the Dnieper. The message is the America isn't the world's piggy bank and it's time they all start paying their own way. The message is that Europe should quit buying Russian energy if they are serious about this minor regional conflict between two equally corrupt governments. That if they want to rally behind the French and go fight Russia they can do it without us. That the children in my neighborhood aren't going to go die for Ukraine. But their foreign legion is taking all comers, so are you packed up for tonight or nah?
