Well, all of those words were typed by you, so no, that's not the "plan I got". I don't have the solution and neither do you. My stance is that the West largely provoked this war and knew full well they'd have Ukrainian bodies to sacrifice if Putin calls the bluff.
You were against sending Ukraine young men to die.
But really there were only 2 options for Ukraine:
-send the men to war
-surrender and beg for Putins mercy, which we all know he doesnt have.
So if you are against option 1), that leaves us with option 2), which is basically what I said.
There is a solution:
1) Send a lot of arms and other help to Ukraine, including heavy ones, so they can defend
2) stop trading with Russia, and get as many countries in world do so. Russia is heavily dependent on other countries making them payments for resources. Every dollar not sent to Russia helps the Ukraine war effort.
Pros:
1) There will be a longterm peace in Europe after Russia losses its teeth
2) no American/western blood spilled
3) Russia doesnt make many million UA people their slaves, which they could use to attack more countries next time.
4) Usa will get a solid boost as a true leader of the free world and savior of people.
