Also, it is time for the worlds biggest enforcer of "freedom and democracy" around the world to get off its ass and help. Instead of laying the middle east in rubble you could perhaps do something useful and send a carrier strike group or two up in the Black Sea to keep the russian air force tied up.

While I agree I wish the U.S would do " something " sending a carrier strike group is ridiculous. The force would be subject to swarms of drone and cruise missile attacks, non stop. The U.S would never risk a strategic asset like a carrier group or two in a confined space like the Black Sea. Taking a tip from Jeff, cruise missile and drone attacks would be just as deadly for the Russian forces as well. This is just my opinion, though.
I will say this, a 40 mile column of tanks and infantry carriers would have had a bad day if a few squadrons of A-10 thunderbolts set up for tank busting strikes had come through. armed with a 30 millimeter rotary cannon and set up to deliver hell fire anti tank missiles and maverick missiles, it's a formidable opponent. The A-10's would have gone through the columns like an international harvester goes through a stand of wheat.
