There's a danger in the U.S. of playing this as some sort of domestic political game -- the hawks using an outdated playbook versus the doves (perhaps not understanding reality well enough). This does a great disservice to the actual situation on the ground.
Long and short of it: Russia gets to invade neighboring countries. Not much we can do about it. That doesn't mean we should sit idly by. Calling out naked aggression and hypocrisy is still part of our national fabric. It also doesn't mean that this is a win for the Russians or a loss for the U.S. More importantly, 1) Russia is increasingly using its army more and more while its economy tanks, and 2) people of the former Soviet states just aren't going to put up with the bullshit like they used to. That's Putin's problem, and the more he lives in that fantasy world of his the more he's pushing the rest of the world towards some sort of really unpleasant confrontation.
The situation isn't terrible (unless you live in the Ukraine) but the trajectory is very disconcerting.
