“Since you like ridiculous exaggeration”
Not at all. Your crowd is simply two small steps away from that.

You are arguing against something that is not happening. There is no a single platoon of US military being sent to Europe.
The “logic” that it’s either 1. “F*** Ukraine, let the Russians conquer them” or 2. “Let’s start the WW3” is pure nonsense.
“Being a fledgling, politically unstable and extremely corrupt ex-Soviet republic, it was made an offer it could not refuse.”
So basically the same as now. Thank god those morons do not have any nukes.
