    Supporting an insurgency inside Ukraine is incredibly risky. There are so many ways it could go wrong.https://twitter.com/TheAtlantic/status/1496888800777224200 …

    Joe Biden has explicitly ruled out sending troops to Ukraine, but he plans to arm an insurgency. If Putin is bent on provoking NATO into a wider war, will Biden join it? The answers to such questions will define his presidency, @FranklinFoer writes. http://on.theatln.tc/Z2JmePA

        If only the US had some sort of experience in living memory of what might happen if you arm an insurgency against a country invaded by the Russians.

        Are you under the impression that the situation in Ukraine is similar to Afghanistan? Because that’s - REALLY not right.

        Yes. We armed the mujahadeen. China armed the vietcong. Pakistan supported the Taliban. Actually, it works out a lot.

        And how does he keep that person in place? Whoever it is will be hated with a passion that will make Yanukovich look like their version of George Washington by comparison.

        Are there "so many ways" to respond to this Russian horror show otherwise? What alternatives are you willing to suggest?
