'Too many politicians and pundits in the United States and Europe echo Putin’s own talking points by warning that any kind of external intervention in Ukraine would lead to World War III. In reality, sending European troops would be a normal response to a conflict of this kind. Russia’s invasion disrupted the regional balance of power, and Europe has a vital interest in seeing the imbalance corrected. The obvious way to do this is to provide a lifeline to a Ukrainian military that could once again be left high and dry by the United States, and the best lifeline would be European soldiers. Unless the politics in the United States change, Ukraine will need alternate sources of assistance to keep its fight going—and Europe is the natural backer.

..European forces could perform other defensive and humanitarian tasks, too, such as demining and defusing unexploded Russian ordinance. Taking over such work from Ukrainian personnel would help protect civilians and support Ukraine’s economic recovery, as farmers are now struggling to plant and harvest crops in fields full of mines and other unexploded munitions.

..

..Finally, Europe needs to consider a direct combat mission that helps protect Ukrainian territory west of the Dnieper. In addition to reducing the burden of the Ukrainian military in these regions, the presence of European troops would make it unlikely that Russian forces would advance across the river, protecting much of Ukraine from conquest. One potential Russian target is Odessa, Ukraine’s main port where most of the country’s exports are shipped. If Russian troops were to approach the city, European forces in the vicinity would have the right to defend themselves by firing on the advancing soldiers. They could help thwart a Russian offensive that, given Odessa’s strategic position, could strangle the Ukrainian economy and position Russian forces for a potential invasion of Moldova. Moscow would try to spin any lethal response to a Russian attack as European aggression, but Russia would be responsible for any escalation.

'..Ukraine is an European country and it time liberate it from the enemy in the East. It is Europe's responsibility and, more importantly, chance for freedom and liberty throughout the continent.'

'The European intervention would dash Russian hopes within 24h, and present Moscow with a situation where they have to concede that the war is lost. Of course, Putin will not heed that. He is so deep in the rabbit hole that he will ignore it, but the people around will look at this differently, and unlike the mindless mobiks who have no choice then jumping into the fire, the oligarchic class has no interest in sacrificing their lives and families for a broken little man, whose deluded dreams of being the 2nd Peter the Great entirely blinded him. History is full of examples where lame dictators end up hanging upside down from the next wall or are getting fished out from the sewers.

Putin's regime is brittle. It survives on a day-to-day basis. European intervention in Ukraine would be considered a D-Day moment and what followed up to this, history taught us. Ukraine is an European country and it time liberate it from the enemy in the East. It is Europe's responsibility and, more importantly, chance for freedom and liberty throughout the continent.'
