Place about 150,000 troops on the Belarussian border
Confiscate the entire Russian merchant marine
Admit Finland and Sweden to NATO ASAP
NATO resolution to occupy the Ukranian nuclear power plants until the conflict is over
Bottle up the Russian fleet in the Black Sea by blocking the Bosporus
Persuade Ukraine to leave tainted alcohol stores before the Russian army
Infect a few captured Russians with Covid and send them back to Russian lines
Send food to Ukraine

Agree with all this.

in WW2 we used the Lend Lease Act to send planes to necessary weapons in our allies hands before we entered WW2.

We should do the same today. We are retiring F-16s, F-22s and A10s. ALL of those should be lent to Ukraine along with the munitions needed. a handful of A10s would make this a very different ballgame.


I love the idea of taking the entire RUssian merchant fleet and blocking up the Black Sea. those things can easily be done. And are points I had not heard before. so good stuff.

I seriously would remove the markings from the F-35s, take complete control of the skys and deny any involvement. basically create a no-fly zone while denying it.

In 2020, about 7% of U.S. petroleum imports, including crude oil, came from Russia.

If we stop importing Russian oil, won't that empower Russia by raising the barrel price globally??

What does that mean as a percentage of Russian exports?

Yes, lend lease.

Those A-10s would be perfect to destroy that 40 mile long Russian Convoy.

Russian oil seems to be struggling to find a market. Insane.

It is a different kind of war. This involves freedom of one people against the communists.
