Yes, Putin doesn't want to go too far and provoke a war with NATO. Europe could help Ukraine more. Germany could supply Taurus missiles and France Rafale fighter jets. This would limit Putin's mischief elsewhere.

To the contrary, my proposal would help Palestinians. It would win votes for Democrats, a party more favorable to the plight of Palestinians. It would also provide publicity for the film which would enable Americans to see Israeli actions in Gaza.
Canada should be proud that it is leading the way for countries to be independent of the US. These countries would form a formidable economic and military bloc.
Democrats should propose that the filmmakers be offered refugee status in the US. This would not only provide publicity for the film but win support from those who disapprove of Israel's actions in Gaza.
It is a good point that Germans would be more willing to fight if their troops are attacked but remember Lithuania is a member of NATO. If Lithuania is attacked, all NATO members are obligated to fight. The Leopard 2 is a formidable tank and being used in a way that German designers did not intend.

Ukraine would be happy to have more Leopard 2s. The tanks would keep Russia occupied in Ukraine, so Putin won't think of mischief elsewhere.
Correct, just like Japan bombing Pearl Harbor. However, it would be better for Germany to aid Ukraine more rather than spend money on sending troops to Lithuania. Give Ukraine more Leopard 2s.
Instead of being frightened, Europeans would see that Russia is a danger and they must fight.
That would be stupid. Lithuania is a NATO member. An attack on Lithuania would mean war with NATO. NATO could attack Russia through Ukraine.
Russia won't invade Lithuania. It's too busy fighting in Ukraine.
Perhaps the chicken manure can be dropped on areas of Europe burned by the recent fires.
Democrats are more inclined to stop what is happening in Gaza. Remember Trump at one time was thinking of displacing Palestinians in Gaza and making it into a French Riviera.
The NAZA filmmakers do not support Israel's military activities in Gaza. Democrats proposing entry to the US for the filmmakers if their citizenship is revoked would not only win votes from those opposing Israel's military activities in Gaza but provide publicity for the film.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, a 2028 presidential hopeful, ventured farther than ever in his criticisms of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a weekend interview that delved into the Democratic Party’s relationship with Israel.
“I think it’s overwhelmingly opposed to the current regime in Israel,” Newsom said of the party, in a PBS News Hour interview with Amna Nawaz.
It would be simpler to just send him back to China and tell the Chinese government about his crime.
