Any sanctions need to be targeted strategically. One of the biggest problems with them is that they can end up hurting the people more than the governments (and actually end up improving the popularity of those in power, something Putin has done a masterful job of doing).

As for weapons and aid, I am not in favor of shipping anything over on the dime of American taxpayers. However, I would not oppose making arms deals with the Ukrainians.

 

Absolutely no military involvement though (advisors, drone strikes, naval presence, boots on the ground, etc.)

Indeed. Sanctions on Saddam Hussein, Robert Mugabe, and the Kim Dynasty, in the past, have demonstrated this VERY clearly.

It is true that North Korea likes to make it's people blame their poverty on US sanctions...
