Sending troops or other direct military engagement would be another matter altogether
—————————————————————
Actually, we’ve done much worse to Russia than if we had sent troops to Ukraine.
See post 10. We’ve seized their assets, placed economic sanctions, and we actively support Russia’s enemies.
What else does America have to do to get involved in another futile and pointless war?
i figure we or the brits either sank or helped sink the moskva. there was background press pieces about the ship on multiple wires the day preceding the sinking. perfect timing
now sabotage in russia, US?
no idea who is killing russian execs and families. zero context on who those people are or to whom they are a target.
I will add more
3 great powers. china, russia, US.
china has consistent foreign policy advancing their interests.
russia does too. this ukraine stuff was predicted decades ago quite explicitly as a logical outcome of pushing nato into ukraine.
the US has ceased to act in a manner consistent with its apparent national interests. actively gutting energy production ability. screwing up afghanistan beyond any reason - just leaving bagram before kabul was a clearly visible mistake, intentional. now pushing for ever greater war against a nuclear power.
the US is the party acting irrationally here. we are acting like we want a world war. I fear we are going to get it, and we are going to get wrecked. maybe everyone will.
