Sounds to me like this is the time to put into Georgia batteries of Patriots, a Marine Air-Ground Task Force and the 101st Airborne followed by the 1st Armored Division with the understanding they will be backed up the nuclear might of the US Air Force and US Navy.
The only thing the Russian/Soviets/Czarists understand is brute force and the willingness to use it!
Ronald Reagan, bless his soul, understood this and won the Cold War.
