Talk of off-ramps for Putin is premature. You offer the ramp only when there is a serious indication that he wants to get off. The ways to get him to want to get off are (a) an expanding flood of arms to Ukraine; (b) crushing sanctions; (c) alliance solidarity and rearmament.

We need to drastically increase the firepower of the ADF and not at this incredibly slow pace
