I’d suggest guns, missiles, and militarized drones. Maybe some tanks and stuff. I’m just spit balling here though.
It’s clearly working
They can’t and they never could. NATO used the conflict as a proxy war to weaken their Geopolitical enemy, Russia. Down to the last Ukrainian. The Goverment us now also throwing women into the war.
A Peace Treaty could have been put in place back in 2022, but the UK in behalf of NATO told them to throw it out and fight. Look at them now, the USA is done with them. Funding is over. Hundreds of thousands dead for next to difference, the Ukrainians decimated. Not to mention dead Russians which was the USA’s calculus. I mean, they say this openly now. A proxy war meant to weaken Russia.
And before anyone who drank the Kool-Aid thinks I am a Russian supporter, go screw yourselves. I have no care for Putin. The reality is that the USA and NATO promised to not entrench themswvles into Russia’s sphere of influence back in
19851991, and then proceeded to immediately break their word for the next 30 years. Playing behind the scenes manipulating the Ukrainian goverment for the last 20 years. Essentially the same shit that we all call Russia out for doing.The Cuban missile crisis almost threw us into WW3 because the Russians dared to stretch its field of influence to 90 miles off Florida. But when NATO does the same and more, somehow Russia is meant to not care? Come on. I agree that we are biased but we cannot be so blind of such hypocrisy.
No superpower wants another superpower, either next to their borders or for even near. China funds North Korea just so they do not have South Korean jexto their border and the USA had a fit with Cuba back in the Kennedy days.
It is just the same old Geopolitics, played by the USA, Chiba, Russia et al. But you could not say this 2 years ago, because our propaganda pushed the notion that stating reality somehow made people “Putin puppets.” Got to give it to USA propaganda, made people feel so strongly about a country most Americans could not have even been able to find on a map days prior.
Edit: All anyone has to do is be honest with themselves and literally open a history book and will see that Everything I say is true and correct. Facta do not make me a Putin or Biden supporter, just makes me objective. Albeit I may be off with the year 1984. Will update.

It’s worse than that when you learn the US already had nuclear missiles that close to the USSR.
Rules for thee, not for me.

?
During the cold war, the USSR had nukes in East Germany, years before the Cuban missile crisis. IRC less than 10 miles from NATO territory.
Russia has nukes 50 miles from the Polish/NATO border in Kaliningrad. Been like that for years.
I mean, what’s next? Blaming NATO for moving Romania closer to Russia after they annexed Crimea?
Talking about the Cuban missile crisis here, which was a direct response to the US putting missiles in Turkey and Italy. Then when the USSR starts putting missiles in Cuba the US throws a absolute fit and threatens nuclear war to fend off so-called Soviet aggression. The US was ready to kill everyone if it meant no competition in the Western hemisphere had nukes. The US doesn’t give a shit about Europe lol
which was a direct response to the US putting missiles in Turkey and Italy.
1961-1963:
1959:
Every retelling of this story I have ever seen or read says that the stationing of nuclear missiles on Cuba was a response to nuclear missiles deployed to Turkey. Presumably this is what mainstream historians believe. Are you disagreeing with this?
