Military support for Ukraine
People expect that the wrecker will give his pal Putin a gift by
ending military support for Ukraine.
If Ukraine is weakened that way, it might be sensible for Ukraine to
seek a compromise peace that would be less disastrous than fighting
and losing.
However, Putin has the attitude of a cheap gangster: when a victim
starts to talk about making a deal, that means perse is weak, so it is
time to demand more. Putin would increase his demands to the maximum,
figuring that he will get all he demands, sooner or later, whenever
Ukraine can't hold a front line any more.
But what if we imagine bizarre ideas with the sort of audacity that
Putin has got away with? I have a few wild ideas.
* Ukraine can attack Belarus and perhaps trigger a rebellion to
overthrow the dictator, Lukashenko, who is a client of Putin. There
is a chance this would free Belaris. At least, Putin might have to
send a large army there, enough to interfere with the attack on
Ukraine.
* Ukraine can attack Hungary and remove Orban, who is a client of
Putin. Maybe Hungary's government would flip.
* The Biden can send several regiments to Ukraine, at Ukraine's
invitation, then station them the way of Putin forces' advance,
ordering them not to fight unless attacked. Putin will face the
choice of attacking the US troops and bringing NATO into the war, or
ceasing to pursue those lines of attack.
If Putin does attack them, it would be hard for the wrecker
subsequently to pull the US out of the fight. He would look like a
coward and a traitor if he did. He does not want to look that way.
If this does not save Ukraine, it will at least help ensure that
Ukrainians can take refuge in NATO countries if their country is
conquered.
