control US policy, what would you do in this situation?

Pour more billions/mo into Ukraine in the hopes it would slow down Russia's ongoing advance, extending the war, the death and destruction in Ukraine?

Get the US military directly involved in the war... eg. declare war on Russia?

Something else? (Please specify your plan, and why you think that would be preferrable to talking with Russia about how to end the war.)

Putin Hints At Expected Nuclear Arms Treaty Breakthrough - JeffB MU - 8/14 16:25:29
     He is playing Trump and the US(nm) - raskolnikov MU - 8/14 16:29:24
          Here's Joe Biden on the Russian invasion - 90Tiger STL - 8/14 17:49:18
               It wasn’t a minor incursion (nm) - haeffb MU - 8/14 18:38:55
                    That’s the point, how does anyone know what - Outsider MU - 8/14 19:02:01
                    ya think? (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 8/14 19:00:28
                         Which leads to the question - haeffb MU - 8/14 19:01:40
                              It gave Putin a green light to invade, did it not? (nm) - Outsider MU - 8/14 19:03:00
                                   Nah. (nm) - haeffb MU - 8/14 19:06:06
                                        well, did "don't" stop him? (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 8/14 19:08:07
                                             No. (nm) - haeffb MU - 8/14 19:13:41
                                        Putin seems to disagree. (nm) - Outsider MU - 8/14 19:06:53
                                             Why woud I care what Putin thinks? (nm) - haeffb MU - 8/14 19:08:04
                                                  You don’t. Seems odd you are in this discussion. (nm) - Outsider MU - 8/14 19:10:04

                                                                                                              My position here - haeffb MU - 8/14 20:34:54
                                                                                                                   No, the real point was that Biden was willing to accept a - 90Tiger STL - 8/14 20:46:32
                                                                                                         So what do you expect Trump to do? Honor the deal - Outsider MU - 8/14 19:49:58
