Where Are the Adults?

From "How did US markets fare during the Cuban Missile Crisis?"

Kennedy always made sure Khrushchev had a face-saving way out. “Every opportunity was to be given to the Russians to find a peaceful settlement which would not diminish their national security or be a public humiliation,” his brother Robert Kennedy wrote. “I am not going to push the Russians an inch beyond what is necessary,” the president said.

It doesn't require too much imagination to envision nuclear weapons going off when the Russian invasion stalls. Yes, defend Ukraine, but stop with the tweeting, taunting, and beating your chests, and offer the Russians a face-saving way out. Americans supposedly elected adults to run the government in 2020. Now act like adults.
