All Russia has to do is cut off the gas to Ukraine like they’ve done before.

And Ukraine blows up one Russian ship every week the gas is cut off.

Give Ukraine 25,000 Javelin anti armor missiles, a couple dozen patriot missile batteries, and 10,000 M-24 sniper weapons systems and watch the Russians piss themselves.

Why the Georgians weren't given thousands of Javelins I do not know. The Russians were throwing the Kornet missiles at Saddam right up to the invasion and they took out at least one M1A1 Abrams. Time to return the favor.

Remember what Stinger missiles did for the Mujahideen?

Easier said than done. The pipelines by which Russia sells gas to EU pass through Ukraine. If Ukraine is not supplied, they can shut down the pipeline entirely, and Russia's gas flows to NOBODY, and Russia doesn't get paid

We should seriously consider building some nuclear power plants in Ukraine. They can be U.S. owned and operated. If we start now, they'll be online when the lease expires for Russia's Black Sea Fleet.
