  1. The US has been and is still supporting Ukraine with its most important assets: space intelligence. Why do you think did the Ukrainians shoot down the Russian radar planes? Because Russia is short on space intelligence. At most they are getting it from China, right now. I wouldn't be surprised that one of Biden's last acts will be to covertly shut down Chinese spy satellites before he leaves office. We have the means. We have been doing it to the Russians for decades. It was an open secret in the Russian aerospace community that Russia has been blind for a long time. That wasn't just because of blunders in their space programs. We never left the cold war... you could see it in Putin's increasing frustration with the West. His country was under attack, he just couldn't admit that they were losing the cold war. His childish reaction was to start a hot war, which he is losing right now. If the Chinese get too involved we will do the same to them that we did to Russia and they won't even be able to admit it that we are behind their failing infrastructure.

  3. It's already happening. The EU doesn't want 30 million Ukrainian refugees in case that the front crumbles. I think you will see French and Polish and eventually German airwings over Ukraine before that happens. In that case, of course, the US is automatically involved.

  4. Putin has been very careful not to escalate to the point where a direct military involvement of the US becomes inevitable. The Russians talk a lot but on average they are acting conservatively. Ukraine also hasn't played its biggest hands, yet. They have clearly demonstrated that they can take out most of Russia's refining capacity, if necessary. That was probably as much a shot to the bow of the US than it was one to Russia. Destroying Russia's critical infrastructure right now is not the best of ideas, but if there has been no change in the US support by winter then Ukraine will try to bring Russia's transportation infrastructure to a grinding halt during the winter months. It's unlikely that Russia has the air defense capacity left to prevent that. If the Ukrainians are preparing thousands of long range autonomous drones for such an attack (and why would they not?), then it will shut down the country for good. It doesn't take a nuclear attack. A conventional attack with toy planes will be enough. I think the US needs to be very aware of the consequences of that and help Ukraine to win this conflict without such an escalation.
