  1. I only see 3 solutions when it comes to Ukraine, either the western countries give Ukraine the arms so it can fight the war effectively, or western countries step in directly, or Ukraine ends up losing the war to Russia. The last option would be a disaster for the west, especially the US, it would show the likes of China and Russia that there are steps the west are not willing to cross, it would basically show us as being weak and then the likes of China and Russia knows that all they have to do is drag a war out, knowing the west doesn't have the stomach for it, that would be bad because it would basically mean the west isn't as committed with its resolve that they want us to think, it would also mean Russia could pick another target. As for direct intervention, well I don't see that happening unless things start to escalate, which it likely would if the west does what I said above. The only real option is that the west and especially the EU and US needs to beef up it's support for Ukraine by giving it the arms to end the war sooner rather than later, after all, the longer it drags on, the more costly it gets. Macron might be a bit over the top in what he says, but many of the other leaders are showing a weak hand, by basically other leaders coming out and saying we won't send troops into Ukraine, that emboldens Russia to keep going, I'm not saying the west should send troops in, at least not yet, but at least keep Putin guessing, all we keep seeing from western countries is weakness and a lot of talk but not enough action, it's no wonder why Russia feels that if they keep going, they can win. As for Germany, at least grow a spine, you've already been fooled once by Russia, do you want it to happen again by inaction, only for Putin to take over Ukraine and then pick up another target? Germany needs to wake up and start showing leadership, otherwise another EU country will and if Germany isn't careful, geopolitics could shift away from them unless they start showing real leadership, especially if the west allows Putin to take over Ukraine, that would look bad on Germany, the US and the west.
