But if French, Polish, or troops from other NATO nations can replace Ukrainian troops along the Belarus border and the Transnistria border, that would free up over 20,000 Ukrainian troops to actually fight.

I guess we're just blowing up the whole "we're going to hurt Russia without committing any troops" trope the dumbest people in the country loved to repeat ad nauseum.

No, we aren't sending any troops, and we won't. But the US cannot stop others from doing so.

But yeah, the best way to prevent that would have been to send more aid to Ukraine sooner. Sending more aid is still the best way, because it actually lowers escalation risks.

When did France and Poland become part of the USA? They are sovereign nations and can do whatever the fudge they want. They have already said that they would do it without triggering Article 5. After France is a nuclear power so Russia ain’t gonna do anything to them.
