Encourage Russia to deploy anywhere they want. It will stretch their resources so much that their military might collapse altogether.
I'd love to see the Russkies get whupped and run home crying. They deserve little else at this point.

Not cheering for a war here. Just saying that there's probably been several generations of US & British strategists & field officers who licked their lips in anticipation of duking it out in a straight-up fistfight with the Russians, just to see what would happen. Pretty certain if the Fulda Gap apocalypse ever happened then the results for the Russians would be identical to what happened to their incredibly unlucky equipment-users in the Sinai, in the Golan Heights, and in both Iraq wars. Shit, Afghanistan is still strewn from end-to-end with the blown-out ruins of rusting tanks, copters, and fighter planes that got annihilated just from what the original mujahadeen managed to do to the Soviets using shoulder-fired RPGs and surface-to-air missiles. Flood Ukraine and the Baltics with the exact same kind of weaponry, supplemented by the pure-murder machine of US helicopters and A10 Warthogs running amok, and the same goddamn thing would probably happen all over again.
As the bloodthirsty old Klingon would most likely say....
The only access to those weapons and training is to join NATO.
And Russia's well aware of everything you pointed out, which is why they don't want those NATO weapons on their border.
The central point of the whole issue.
Asides from the fact Putin, just like the U.S.A. can't/won't solve the issues at home and has to continue distracting the populace with the threat of the bogeyman about to invade.
As you said though the US won't do it. It would be too massive of an escalation, basically equivalent in Russian eyes as when the Soviets put ballistic missiles in Cuba. And it would be incredibly unwise for Western interest anyway. Ukraine is unfortunately full of rogue elements, including active Nazis operating on the Ukrainian nationalist side. Some of those weapons could easily end up back inside the US, in the hands of their own lunatic nationalist/racist elements, where they'd certainly be used to attack the US government from within. It's bad enough with the more demented hicks in the US having access to "mere" semi-automatic rifles. Them acquiring actual military-grade weaponry would be nothing but a sheer disaster.
So Cuba could milk Russia just like it did the USSR to make their country ever so slightly less of a shithole than they've managed to all by themselves.
Is Putin really that stupid? I don't think so.
Even that Russian troll who used to post nonsense gave up on Comrade Putin.
Oh yeah... him...
I wonder what PostFactum would have to say about this situation. He last visited the site in December but no posts since January 2021. I'd like to see him pop in and comment.

I honestly can't remember his name now, but was this the self-proclaimed Communist that changed his username several times? I'm struggling to remember this person right now...
