Not American - I'm Polish. I've got friends who got drafted already (if only for training) so it's entirely possible I'll join them eventually.

My take is that Russia's plan is to continue sabotaging and a weak (or lack of) response to that only emboldens them.

Also nuclear war with what? Their recent Satan II ICBM test demonstrated that they don't necessarily have the technical chops to launch anything sufficiently capable and it must have come as a surprise to them as well.

On the contrary, chilling would endanger everyone living the in the free world even further.

Nuclear war is not a realistic concern, luckily. If it was, it would have happened after the first "red line" Russia claimed the west had crossed.

We were chill since 2014 if not earlier. It brought nothing but pain both to Ukrainians and to us in the West. It doesn’t work.

It's high time for the West to man up and solve the Russian problem once and for all.
