Okay. So punitive economic sanctions are off the table.

How many American military resources are you willing to commit, of what type and for how long?

I would continue to supply and fund the Ukrainian military, continue (or increase) the economic sanctions on Russia, work to improve relations with countries like India that have to buy Russian oil in order to avoid crippling their economy but can be induced to forgo Russian energy through diplomacy, etc.

Putin hasn't been able to beat Ukraine in nearly three years. He's not losing on the battlefield, but neither can he win on the battlefield if the West stays resolute in supporting Ukraine.

The West has cards to continue playing, because Russia doesn't have the economic resources to keep doing this indefinitely. Ukraine alone doesn't either, but Ukraine backed by the entire West certainly does.
