Should the US not waste time in stationing some of its own tactical Nukes in Ukraine as a response? Would the operational control over their use be given to Ukraine Military to speed their effectiveness if situations demanded immediate action?
I wonder if we still have the Davey Crockett system, small atomic artillery or mortar devices?


Uh,.... NO. On all of the above.

Locating American nuclear weapons in Ukraine would be a huge mistake.

There are nukes all over Europe, and on U.S. submarines nearby, so, one more location would not make any difference. Putin is making a big deal out of something that's always been a threat to Russia.

I don’t say it lightly but what makes it difficult is Russia’s moves going unchecked or responded to tit for tat. Ignoring them is tacitly encouraging bad behavior. Have we no small nukes anymore? Or neutron bombs to kill mainly personnel?
I wonder if fuel air thermobaric bombs have to be dropped or if they could be delivered by bigger drones or on some sort of surface to air missiles that would be ok to delver there?
Trying to be helpful with the suggestions since so much of what we give seems to be delayed and too little too late to be really useful.

Is there ANYTHING in our arsenals that would qualify as a real “game-changer” in this war?
