I submit that the liberty of a people to choose their own legitimate self governance and nationhood anywhere on the planet is a US interest. Be it Ukraine or Taiwan.

We either stand for Freedom or we don't. Russia being "allowed" to annex a neighbor will satisfy an urge to control? It will stop there? I hardly think so. Better it never starts without pushback in the first place IMO.

"As one who signed for and was responsible for nukes in the military, their presence in the theater made the Ruskies think twice about their next step."

Does that include Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan?

Are you saying we should commit us forces to prevent Russia from crossing tanks into Ukraine?

Will you go, or send your son for that folly? Would you risk 100 US cities for that interest?
