CSM:Simple really.
A strong response instead of a weak indecisive response.
When the tactical nuclear, battlefield-weapon mushroom clouds appear in Europe, what then? Escalate until the multi-megaton, city-buster mushroom clouds appear over the ruins of European and Americam cities too? I don't think it's that simple at all.
A strong but measured response is what President Biden and his advisors are delivering to date and it is hamstringing that large part of the regular Russian Army which has been deployed to invade Ukraine. The Russians are quietly calling up reserves now because the US/European-supplied Ukrainian resistance is killing/wounding Russian troops in droves and is destroying Russian helicopters, armour and transports in very large numbers. Russian logistics are in disarray. Russians are running low on conventional ammo stocks for many war apron systems. The Russian economy is spiraling into recession and soon into depression due to the economic warfare Biden has unleashed upon Russia. To get more deeply involved means direct conflict with Russia which both plays into Putin's hands and also risks spiralling escalation to the kind of war no one who is sane wants to see. Remember Russia has more nuclear weapons than the USA, the UK, France China and Israel combined.
Be well and stay alive.
