[FRIAM] Enamine

[Marcus Daniels]

It makes some sense to get the Russian forces overextended and then ramp up an insurgency.    He will spend a ton of money that he doesn't have.  
To keep the high moral ground, it is better if he escalates.  For example, if he used a tactical nuke, then scale larger but somewhat proportionate response.   It could even be conventional.  Make clear to the Russian people and Russian leaders that he will destroy the country.

Exactly. I'd endorse not only a no-fly zone, but also active counter attacks on their deployed forces like that convoy. If Sarbajit is right that the highly skilled forces will be largely deployed in the South and the conscripts in the North are mostly a sacrificable feint, then I'd even support some special forces boots on the ground in the South.

But I vacillate on whether we should do anything outside Ukraine territory. I suppose slight fuzzification of the boundary is unavoidable to some extent. I'd like to retain my sanctimonious conception of "defensive" action.
