2. is an airlift impossible?

i can see it's a can of worms. but damn.

3. That's what I've been wondering....

Announce them way ahead of time in order to prevent anyone from "accidentally" shooting them down.
If Russia shot them down, we could have a "limited" response---that involved fucking up all their shit within 100 miles of the incident

Something NATO has seemed absolutely unwilling to do...

9. Shoot them the food.

Since their city is a pile of rubble anyway, figure out a way to shell them with food packages. The Russians are so stupid they will probably think that it is their own forces shelling Mariupol.

Pick an area, a vacant building or something, and load shells up. No, I don't know how that would work. But I sure as shit would try. The first ones to die are the children and the very elderly.

This is a war crime, and I'd go back to the Hague and make some kind of new complaint.

We never should have told Putin that NATO would not move against them. This is intolerable. We practically gave them permission to do this to Mariupol. I do not think that NATO are fools; but, I sure hope they discussed more about this at the meeting.

There has to be a solution, some deception, some intervention that can be done. Can they drop packages from some unbelievable height? Can they hire the CAP? Can some wire-guided packages show up? Can drones be used to deliver food? Can Amazon's aerial package system be used?

If they resort to cannibalism, at least they should make it a Russian soldier. This is so hard.

Here is a video showing some delivery drones available:

10. Not a bad idea.
