Agreed. We have to stand fast here, regardless of duration. Otherwise we leave it that states can advance through military means.

Old argument. Back in the day, I made the argument that the U.S. should buy some Frogfoots from the Russians, plonk some new avionics in them and give them refueling capability.
They are a very capable airframe that can operate off of truly horrendous runways.

The only thing at all significant is the implication that if the parties don't come to a political settlement China will start providing lethal aid.

Not while Russian troops are on Crimean soil.
Chinese weaponry might make things uglier, but Russia still doesn't have an army worth a tinker's damn.
