Being an overseas vet of WWII and with my only brother killed on Okinawa I probably see things differently than many other people. As such if the USA has no compelling self interest in the Ukraine/Russia we should be ready to protect our interests with as great a force as we can muster but not use such assets unless needed for our own interests. I see no inherent USA interest in what goes on with Russia and Ukraine. That western Europe financial interests cannot get/take from Russia oil and gas deposits or set up their own lines through the contested areas is not compelling enough for loss one USA life,overtly or covertly.
I have not advocated the US send one soldier to Ukraine.
