well, my suggestion shortly after aid had started pouring in would've been a lot simpler if archaic. 1B for the man or group of men who delivers Putin's head, keep increasing the reward 100M for every month the war dragged on. If nothing came of it, at least it'd put that manlet on edge.
Well at the current trajectory the whole of the UKR is going to get slowly crushed. The potential defeat will be humiliating for the west and UKR when they could've negotiated and saved hundreds of thousands of lives.
A lot of conflict and humiliation was avoided and many lives saved by just letting Putin take Crimea. It's like putting a piece of duct tape over the "check engine" light in your car. Works great for a while.
I just don't trust the Democrats. US v China trade deficit is on it's way back up again, it was massive under Obama. I mean, China's gearing up for conflict with the West-wtf?
