It lacked perspective and a de-escalation option. Comes off as reckless to me.

I think your take is reasonable but personally I think allies need to demonstrate that nuclear usage is unacceptable

It’s that whole appeasement / don’t tolerate the intolerant philosophy. Eventually you gotta draw a line in the sand that says; do not cross.

If you appease a bully, are they really incentivized to stop their behavior? They just got what they wanted by being a bully, why would they stop if they can just keep doing it?

It is a very tenuous situation but eventually we gotta draw that line.

I also object to the demonization of the energy industry. Seth was relaying the same talking points of energy prices being an issue of corporate greed when we all know that simply isn't the case. Attacking an industry as enemies goes no where towards working with them to find a solution. Its equates to a throwing up of hands and saying its not my fault, don't blame me look at them, I can't do anything about it type of answer.
