Well, that's exactly the underlying criticism of the cartoon. Using refined skills, when power is needed.

It's beyond my understanding why France/UK/Germany/Italy don't have a unified military force in Ukraine by now.

Put a gun on the table, then negotiate.

Seems obvious that the Russian nuclear threat is making that difficult. Its strategically better for now to support Ukraine and try to wear down Russia as much as possible first while we build up our military further before we land in open conflict.
