2. I have always thought we should be "patroling" that stretch of ocean to keep an eye on shit

Heavy patrols.

Blockade-level patrols. Shadow any ship that leaves. No interdiction. Just watch them like the Soviet trawlers used to do to us on our East Coast.

In my Navy days I was twice on ships shadowed by trawlers. They got VERY close. Close enough to send stuff over by ship to ship transfer if we wanted to. Close enough to see faces of their sailors. There were no consequences then and there will be none now.

edit to add:

Have Poland and Lithuania make the land link back to Belarus impossible. Help them with our troops if need be.
