  4. Give Ukraine the means to blow away all the Russian troops and equipment that are both inside their country and those assembled along the border. Putin may be crazy but even with that he’s not stupid. Does he believe that the west would not respond if he uses nuclear weapons in Ukraine? He knows full well that if he used nukes his own country would suffer the same fate.He’s finding out, and the world is seeing, that the Russian troops and weapons are not as formidable as they thought they were. With the right weapons Ukraine can drive Russia out of their country.
