    You make good points here. Is there any particular reason you think option 2 is better than option 3? The way I see it, with option 3 the war is over more quickly, Russia is (most likely) defeated and we can finally move on to other orders of business.

      I like option 2 better than option 3 because I don’t think America should go back to “their is an international issue send troops” mentality. We are known for being to trigger happy with that. While I love the idea of sending troops and putting putin in his place where does that end? Where do we draw the line on when sending troops is acceptable or not? I couldn’t say what is right or wrong for sure or if my thoughts are even the right ones to have.

      I do know their is a time and a place to send troops I just don’t know when that may be in this instance. They are not an “ally” but someone is doing something bad to them. So send equipment/funds is my middle ground.
