It's not hard for even modestly skilled diplomats to craft a policy that would signal to Russia that aggression against Ukraine will be met with an overwhelming flow of resources and materiel for them to defend themselves, - albaby

-----------------

OK in response to Russian aggression, we give Ukraine all the guns and money they ask for. But after guns and money, there remains the issue of "dudes" as laid out so well in Dopes recipe for defense.

Your statement implies the dudes will come from Ukraine, that they have the capacity to do that. I think that is questionable assumption given the casualties already suffered by Ukraine. It will take one or two generations to restore Ukraine's supply of military age soldiers, especially while simultaneously providing labor to work on reconstruction for the next twenty years.

So just where will the dudes come from if not the United States?
