Just $13.5B of US military aid brought this about. An incredible bargain. Send more, much more, including ATACMS missiles.

Moscow’s rapid loss of more than 2,300 square miles of territory in northeastern Ukraine has raised the prospect that the Russian military is spent as an offensive force for the foreseeable future washingtonpost.com/national-secur

I’m not trying to pull a Recoil Exaggeration bias on you but would pressing our luck be creating the conditions for using their tactical nukes?

If anything, giving them ATACMS and F-16s to strike Crimea over a long period of time will make it less likely Russia will use tactical nukes compared to a massive land invasion through a bottleneck where they might actually consider that in immediate response during a panic.

Cutting off the water from Kherson again, cutting off their land bridge, blowing up the Kerch bridge and gradually striking military targets in Crimea would be a very gradual siege. There's no point where a sudden invasion by land is even required. It will lose all value to them.
