1. The only question is what "help" means.

Provide S-300s and any missiles that work with them.

Provide MiGs and SUs.

Provide anything that takes out a fighter at 13k m and might be deniable.

(While you're at it, provide tanks and APCs. Defensive weapons suck at offensives. "Victory at all losts. Oh. Typo? That would be telling.&quot

Don't tell us. Don't preen and say you're thinking about it--then decide "no". Or "we're trying to make it possible" when a signature is at most what's necessary. Don't say "yes, we approve" then "but if they do it, they're on their own." In other words: Don't be a weasel. Just say, "Um ...". Nike was the goddess of victory ... Just do it.

If, if you need the poli points, say, "We did it." Only past tense is accepted; present tense ("we are currently actually doing it&quot is provisional. "We will do it..." the future isn't real. Talk "real."
