I do agree with you. I don't like the fact that we are the ones with all of the weapons and military might, but this does seem like a good exception. If we have these weapons and want to play the worlds policeman this seems like a place to use those weapons.

It is my understanding that Ukraine has been willing to talk about peace but not willing to give up any part of their country. Giving in to a demand like that seems like giving the mugger exactly what they wanted. IDK. What does Russia really have to negotiate with other than taking some of Ukraine's freedom?

Of course Russia uses conscription as well. In fact don't most countries that go to war use conscription? I don't like it but, if we can stop it here then the next country that Russia might invade wouldn't have to draft soldiers.
I believe it was purely for reasons of expansion. I don't know exactly what our response should have been, but we need to at least acknowledge that Ukraine is defending their sovereignty and Putin/Russia are the aggressors. We should support them at least minimally.
