You realize what you are suggesting right? If NATO formally gets involved it is likely to become a far different war. You ready for that?

Fully understood, a single F-35 squawked in eastern Poland last night. Expectation is RQ-180s are forward deployed against peer outside NATO airspace.

It replaced a gap from the SR-71, Iran shot last gen down but this a different animal. Battlespace node, A/C5i.

"The Northrop Grumman RQ-180 is an American stealth unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveillance aircraft intended for contested airspace. As of 2019, there had been no images or statements released, but growing evidence points to the existence of the RQ-180 and its use in regular front-line service.[1]"

Air supremacy is several days away from being determined. NATO at this stage could lock it down <24hrs.

Russian aviation, this has already occurred, a pre-req for military operations. Best guess is ~16 NATO fighters at any given moment covering the eastern front with full AWACS and refueling capability, 8 - F-22s are in UAE with 16 F-35s splitting duty between Germany and Baltic's. 2-3 squadrons of F-15s and 6-8 squadrons of F-16s, absent NATO partners exist in Europe, including a F-16 wing in Turkey.

Perhaps that Belarusian plane ought not make it into Ukraine. It's a damn shame the world sits back and watches an unprovoked war against an innocent nation and we are scared to help.

But a lot of the world is helping, including the United States (Intel for days). Just because other nations aren't sending their own troops in doesn't mean they aren't providing support. And as other posters have pointed out, there are logical reasons for those nations not to have done more (for now).

Im not implying here a point of no return as far as a world war is concerned. I doubt very much this goes beyond Ukraine. But we are headed toward a point where alot of economic damage is going to be done to alot of countries. Why not make a reasonable offer to Putin? Agree to a ceasefire, sit down and talk, and all sanctions will be dropped.

I think the only reasonable offer to Putin is that Russia immediately and with no other conditions withdraws all forces to Russia. Any sanctions relief can be discussed in the future AFTER that occurs. Any such sanction relief should occur in the coming years and decades, after Putin himself is out of power.
 
Take with grain of salt. Sending a delegation, mot in person
