There are some 550,000 Russian troops in and around Ukraine.
Ideally, you need a 3:1 troop ratio to conduct successful offensive operations. A 2:1 ratio might work, but it's high risk. If we truly want Russia out of Ukraine, which is the stated end state, we need a force of about 1.5 million: 500,000 US troops, 500,000 other NATO troops, and 500,000 Ukrainian troops. But first, we need to manufacture more artillery ammunition. We're out of that. So we'll have to wait a year. Prayers for Ukraine.

So we'll have to wait a year. Who wants another Vietnam over Ukraine? The vast majority don't want to see Americans die there.
