"Admiring complicity in Ukraine’s invasion of Russia’s universally recognized territory would make the US a direct participant in these unprecedented hostilities and thus place enormous pressure upon Moscow to respond. "
A valid point that hasn't already escaped many of us who understand the situation. Imagine though if the shoe was on the other foot and Mexican fighters supported by Russia invaded the US. I doubt the US would stand for that. They would bomb the invaders into oblivion and possibly flatten Mexico to boot. Although I'm not a supporter of Putin, it is easy to see he's being very lenient about the current events on both sides of the border.
