Propably not as much a problem as one would think. The US is aiming for China next, that will be mostly a sea and air war. No conventional artillery needed.
Sounds like they'll have to give up on Ukraine though.
That's where the European vassals come in. Western Ukraine will propably get de-facto occupied by them while the east is dropped. Keeps the conflict frozen, the euros paying, Russia occupied and the US free for fresh warcrimes.
Western Ukraine is useless, besides the black earth. All the resources are in the parts that are or will be under russia soon.
