Rather statements, if would be much better to demonstrate this via action; at the very least placing multiple anti-air units in Western Ukraine.

With the russians, talk isn’t worth much, you have to act and put them into a situation where they have to make choices.

Somewhat off topic, but can the Russians decide to make a Steven Seagull where he plays a Rambo type character in Ukraine? Maybe even an alternate reality where he is their best ex spetznaz and comes out of retirement to lead the take over of Hostomel? Please it will be very funny.
