Staying out of the range of Russian S-400 sites, so far.
Attacking Russian SAM sites, on Russian soil, would be crossing a very red line.
How about sending them 1,000 Patriots?
The sad fact is that Ukraine must Bleed, so that Germany doesn't Freeze.
Push Putin too hard, he shuts off your Gas.

So backtrack, shut down Russias pipeline, return the bribe and open ours.
One Hope
Most of our friends can no longer find a place of worship where the pastor/rabbi tells the full truth to their parishioners. True believers often remain at home rather than attending services. It wasn’t this way in the founding era of America.
“If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.” Isaiah I:19-20.
This passage from Isaiah was the text of the sermon given December 14, 1786 as a day of Publick (sic) Thanksgiving by Joseph Lathrop to the Congregational Church in West Springfield, Massachusetts. Pastor Lathrop opens with the following:
What was spoken by the prophets to the ancient people of God, is written for our use, that we, through the warnings of scripture, might be moved with fear; and through the comforts of scripture, might have hope.
Our relation to God, as a people redeemed by his hand and preserved by his care, as a people enjoying his oracles and professing obedience to his laws, is so similar to theirs, that we may justly apply to ourselves what was here spoken to them. I shall therefore consider my text in accommodation to our own case: and shall observe,
That the land, in which we are placed, is a good land: and,
That our enjoyment of the good of the land depends on our obedience to God.
After his opening remarks, he speaks of the recent War for Independence.
If we should ever be so unhappy as to fall under a succession of wicked rulers, we must censure our ill choice. We have still wise and good men among us. If the time should come, when there is not a man to be found, who will execute judgment, and seek the truth, how will God pardon us for this! Nothing, but immediate reformation, can prevent the fatal consequences of such woful (sic) depravity. These follow by a divine establishment, and it is not in the power of human government to guard against them.
Perhaps it will be asked, “Is there no case in which a people may resist government?” Yes, there is one such case; and that is, when rulers usurp a power oppressive to the people, and continue to support it by military force in contempt of every respectful remonstrance. In this case the body of the people have a natural right to unite their strength for the restoration of their own constitutional government.
The full text of this amazing sermon by Pastor Lathrop is available here. His doctrine may be different than yours, but his words ring true to scripture and the times albeit 236 years later. May it lift your hearts and minds to draw closer to our Creator and to the wonderful delights of knowing Him. It is a text which extols the virtues of freedom and liberty in this great land, after our success in the Revolutionary War for Independence.
Conclusion
There is but one hope and that hope lies in our nation turning back to God.
Psalm 56:4 In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
