12. Sanctions will not work in time.

Sanctions hurt, but they take time to work. Meanwhile, innocent Ukrainians are dying. Why can’t the West start using drones launched out of reach of Russian missiles to attack its forces and tanks? Or does Russia have the capability to shoot them all down?

If Putin takes Kyiv and establishes a puppet government, getting him out of Ukraine will be impossible. He is then that much closer to countries to the west and southwest of Ukraine. Which one would be next in line to be annexed? Putin’s forces need to be stopped before they infiltrate all of Ukraine. Time to give the Ukrainians as much military equipment as they can handle.
