aid is good, but we need to stop dancing around and allow provided arms to be used cross border. or maybe itll take the deaths of another 250000 russian conscripts

Unironically the most logical comment here. Aid to Ukraine is good, but we need to commit and go balls deep. No silly half-measure, attack russia where it hurts, especially those annoying-ass bombers and missile/drone factories.

What are you an Army general? I kinda would prefer the government not give any more reason for a nuclear strike by Russia. Which is absolutely where we're trending if America starts dropping pretenses and begins directly arming incursions into Russian borders.

Russia only understands one language: violence.

They need to be shown where their place is, and NATO's combined might is more than capable of doing so. Hell, Ukraine with NATO's leftovers is keeping russia at bay.

If russia wants to go nuclear, so be it. They'll be absolutely eradicated, so they won't strike first.

Okay armchair army general, I guess we're going to nuclear war against a country on another continent that we've not technically declared war with because of your expert geopolitical analyst.

Name on state or nation in the world that isn't rooted in violence and that doesn't have an army
