Well they filed a formal complaint with the UN, what more should we expect anyone to do about it?

There's plenty of actions they COULD take. E.g. defend Ukraine's airspace using NATO planes.

The problem with economic sanctions is that their record of success is rather disappointing. Economic sanctions just damage everyone, and there doesn't seem to be many instances of them convincing states to change course, never mind dictators.

Which they should start real soon.

Wow, Gazmanov. Last heard him when I still had tapes! Looks like little changed, still nationalist music, just the same but different nation lol

If the new nuclear doctrine signed by Putin yesterday is reciprocal, response with nuclear weapons is justifiable.

If putin has a bad bowel movement he might justify nukes. Paper & laws from russia are not worth the bits of bandwidth they are reported on. izs a dictatorship .

Biden has delivered a master class in how to stand up to a bully. Put a toe just barely over the line in the sand. If the bully reacts then it's an obvious overreaction and you can respond in kind without seeming a bully or irrational yourself. If the bully doesn't react do it again. And again. And again. And again.

Unfortunately that strategy is not going to continue.
