Really hard poll to answer, sending troops could mean nuclear war... If Russia would not have nukes then troops would have been already there from Europe/NATO and soon in Moscow to cut Sauron's head off. So I guess I must vote no, althought in theory I support the option of sending troops 100%.

Oh, and today on the news fresh study about the effects of a nuclear war:

"Atmospheric impacts of global nuclear war would be more severe than previously thought"

"Bardeen and his co-authors found that smoke from a global nuclear war would destroy much of the ozone layer over a 15-year period, with the ozone loss peaking at an average of about 75% worldwide. Even a regional nuclear war would lead to a peak ozone loss of 25% globally, with recovery taking about 12 years.

Since the ozone layer protects Earth’s surface from harmful UV radiation, such impacts would be devastating to humans and the environment. High levels of UV radiation have been linked to certain types of skin cancer, cataracts, and immunological disorders. The ozone layer also protects terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, as well as agriculture.

“Although we suspected that ozone would be destroyed after nuclear war and that would result in enhanced ultraviolet light at the Earth’s surface, if there was too much smoke, it would block out the ultraviolet light,” said study co-author Alan Robock, a professor of climate science at Rutgers University. “Now, for the first time, we have calculated how this would work and quantified how it would depend on the amount of smoke.”"

Slava Ukraini!
Never surrender, never give up!
May freedom prevail!
