Air power in the form of jet planes would have neutralized the Russian guns and tanks but was quickly taken off the table as an option to help the brave Ukrainians. Putin has nukes and we shouldn't make him angry while he pulverizes the country and its citizens?
You think it's a wise bet to attack his country in a way that prompts his using nukes, I get that.
Angry isn't the problem. I don't care if he is angry. I care that he is not more irrational than his current level.
But out of curiosity, Luee, how many jets do you think we should send? 10? 100? 1000?
