Sign the mineral deal if needed. Sign payback deals if needed. Whatever it takes to ensure the worlds authoritarians can't invade and annex other countries. Remember, China is watching intently on the wests actions.
You don't have to to understand the concept of the worlds superpower being able to take care of its own house while simultaneously supporting others around the world. It's not just goodwill, it's leverage. Yesterdays broken 'America First' concept of isolationism is no different than todays.
There will always be lessons learned, and I hope it's a more painful lesson for Russia. If Russia stopped fighting today, the war would be over. If Ukraine stopped fighting today, Ukraine would be over. Stark difference.
