NATO "firing bullets" is not and has never been on the table since NATO is a defensive alliance and Ukraine is not a member.
The idea of bribing Russian soldiers radically underestimates the brutal control exerted by the Kremlin over the Russian people. It also sells the Russian people short, implying individual corruption when many are patriots who oppose war against their Ukrainian cousins but are not able to speak out.
The idea that bringing in freelance freedom fighters is going to end the war "in a week" is facile and ludicrous.
This post is unserious and offtopic.
