Marco has theright appraoch.BUt the fact is that AMerican Military might , not NATO will be the deciding factor here.
NATO is useless.
1)We have to understand that Putin must be made to believe he will see US Marines in the Black Sea with a couple of carrier task forces,\, readying to come ashore. THAT will be hard for Amrican Patriots to swallow. Its a Biden made mess, and unfortunately the old C___T has left us to clean it up.
2)THe other approach is to ruin Russia economically. That will take time we likely do not have.But I hope this is what Marco can do rather than the first option.
China wants the first option. Something to remember.
Sending Carriers to Black Sea would only end it their destruction. Too many points they can be attacked. The supply lines for a large US force would be hard to set up—and can US forces take the WW I style shelling. Is our military men up to facing Russian Veteran Troops? North Koreans? No, this is not the answer. Besides, we would have to defend not just Ukraine but all of NATO. Think Russia wouldn’t move on Estonia? Poland? Kosovo? We are talking WW III and a horror show beyond all understanding. We wouldn’t be fighting Russia alone and many of NATO would not fight. Trump would not waste American lives for Kiev—or Mr. Zelensky.
