You could say the same thing about the Kurds in Northern Syrian and Iraq territory, mainly because they're not see as an official country, but we share strong ties with them to the point of military and financial backing. However, when Turkey invaded in late 2018 we pulled out because staying to help fight would mean WWIII for sure considering Turkey's disposition as an "ally".

And if we don't help Ukraine they will definitely feel some type of way about us.

US fought Iraq for the "War on Terror", not at the behest of an ally or agreement there. And I'm not concerned about Ukraine's feelings. Let them hold their own nuts

Russia really just shook Ukraine might join nato and will basically have the west on their doorstep, even though Ukraine don't have all the criteria yet...

I get their fukkery to move first, but fukk that.

Can we afford to go to war? Do you really think the American people will be cool with ANOTHER foreign engagement? NATO's entire purpose was to contain the soviets, aint no soviets anymore and Russia is trying to let its nuts hang. The rest of the countries in NATO can handle it and the UN peacekeeping force can help. The maximum level of involvement for America should be sending some of the surplus hardware here over to them. No troops should be setting foot on that soil.

How fukking stupid do we look blowing up the budget again while kids can't even get school lunches and covid is going ham on certain states and thats to say nothing about the threat of climate change. We need a project to fight climate change that makes the Manhattan project and the moon landing goal look like a small get together.

$448.8 million in 2020
$9.5 billion since 1992

Ukraine was apart of the soviet union..gaining independence in 1991 after it collapsed.

Back in like 2014 a Ukrainian president wanted to implement pro Russia policies..Basically to be a soviet puppet state and most of the country was " "

It’s about to happen

Warmongering makes money, so to answer your first question, yes and no. While tax dollars could be going towards more advanced infrastructure and other necessities, it'll go toward weapons and the military instead.

Biden doesn't seem different from any other president whose occupied foreign territory for the "sake of others", but maybe he'll look the other way.

Seriously. This just smells like a smokescreen. They are trying to distract us from the fact that shyt is breaking down here talmbout some damn "but what about our allies?" Like the UN and NATO don't exist and the EU won't do shyt. Let them handle it. Its on their continent, they need to be the ones first and foremost to check the Russians ESPECIALLY since they're the ones who should be hammering out the trade deals for Russian petroleum(which shouldn't even be a factor anymore since more EU countries are trying to switch to nuclear and renewable for energy) Russia doesn't have the leverage they once had so they can get that work from the EU. Leave us out of it.

Putin is so damn transparent. He goes after Ukraine any time the Democrats are in office.

The only ones that benefit from these wars are the military contractors. The average American suffers every time we get involved in this bullshyt.

I don't even want to think about what would've happened if all the money that went into Iraq and Afghanistan were spent on infrastructure and social services. shyt would be so depressing and infuriating its enough to make someone go postal. Billions of our dollars spent and FOR WHAT? What would we gain from another pointless war?

 

[MoneyTron]

As for the US getting involved in any significant manner ie boots on the ground, I seriously don't see it happening.

The Air Force might see action but they'll let the EU/NATO handle most of it.

By trying to unite everybody through technology mankind has brought the same situation on himself as before the flood and the Tower of Babel.

The United States sent all of this technology around the world only to have it come back and bite them in the butt in the end. Other countries like China take it and develop it even further to a more advanced point than the United States and come back and threaten the United States with it.

When you unite the whole world you put all of the evil inside of mankind on display for everybody to see.

WW3 will happen, but it ain't what some of you thought it was going to be.

The only way out of it is through God.
