It is important to consider the potential consequences and drawbacks of escalating military involvement in the conflict. An increase in military support could lead to a more violent and prolonged war, resulting in more loss of life and destruction for both Ukraine and Europe. Additionally, it could also lead to a more aggressive response from Russia, potentially escalating the conflict to a larger scale that could draw the United States military forces into the war.

Furthermore, it is worth considering the potential for diplomatic and non-violent solutions to the conflict. While the current efforts of economic sanctions and diplomatic ostracism may not have ended the war, they have not been fully exhausted and could still be effective in bringing about a peaceful resolution.

Overall, while the article presents a compelling argument that Europe must take a more active role in the conflict in Ukraine, it is important to consider the potential consequences and drawbacks of escalating military involvement, as well as the potential for diplomatic and non-violent solutions.

The POUNDING OF THE WAR DRUMS grows louder and louder; the CALLS FOR ESCALATION AND DEEPER INVOLVEMENT grow shriller and shriller.

And it’s one, two, three
What are we fighting for?
Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn
Next stop is Vietnam;
And it’s five, six, seven
Open up the pearly gates
Well there ain’t no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we’re all gonna die!

Well, come on generals, let’s move fast;
Your big chance has come at last
Now you can go out and get those reds
‘Cause the only good commie is the one that’s dead
And you know that peace can only be won
When we’ve blown ‘em all to kingdom come....

The truth is. Europe does not want to. Or they would.

Confusing the policy of defending Ukraine with being proBiden is infantile. Mixing American paleocon politics with support of Russian war crimes is infantile. The neoisolationist thought process that can’t comprehend events beyond local county lines is infantile

Adults of the world have condemned the Russian war crimes and are protecting Ukraine

Very good summary.

You can just feel something isn’t right with all this. From the very start it has all seems (badly) stage managed by the Deep State for whatever self-serving nefarious reasons they have. The only question in my mind is what are they really up to? What is their real end game?
