When we do things, our military is hampered by our Rules of Engagement.
If things get nasty in Ukraine, I don't think Putin will be hampered by gentle ROE.

And what will the world say about a modern military that REALLY fights to shock and awe?
Real war isn't pretty if you want to win fast and decisively and also pacify a country that wants you to leave.

“I don't think Putin will be hampered ...”

Just look at the sort of troops and their actions in Georgia a few years back, or Russians troop actions in the Hungarian invasion in the 60s: tanks and other armored vehicles will roll over the demonstrators, crowds and individuals will be shot out of hand just because.

The Ukrainian military is a joke, so no help there.
