America is working on a plan to send long-range anti-ship missiles to Ukraine to break a blockade of the country’s ports and fend off an impending food crisis.

The White House wants to send Harpoon and Naval Strike Missiles - some of which can range up to 345 miles - to Kyiv so they can be deployed on the Black Sea.

The hope is the missiles would present enough of a threat to Russia’s warships that they would pull back from Ukraine’s ports, allowing vital grain shipments to resume.

A blockade is irrelevant if the port loading facilities are destroyed.

A few missiles hitting Moscow and St Petersburg, now THAT is a signal Putin won’t be able to ignore.

Stir up a few of the other areas that also want independence from Moscow. Have them declare their independence. It could easily become a full scale internal civil war–and then Ukraine suddenly won’t matter.
