The US will not need to go to the war in Ukraine. The war will come to us.
Just as it did in World War II. Does anyone think that the US sending military aid and equipment to Ukraine is not a blatant act of aggression against Russia?
Sending aid and equipment has abundant precedent in realpolitik, and will not be a cause of escalation. Sending troops or other direct military engagement would be another matter altogether.
a fair amount of the population actually uses ‘word-thinking’ which means because it can be worded a way that makes it seem like we are not in the war, they believe russia will agree.
so yes, people think what we have done here is not multiple acts of war. honestly, the financial stuff is worse at this point. we stole their foreign reserves.
It clearly is.
But the US Navy pursuing German U-Boats in the summer of 1941 were also blatant acts of aggression against Germany. In that case, however, Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor allowed us to enter the war as an aggrieved party.
How would something similar play out here? (We're thousands of miles away from our shores and a short distance from Russia; we couldn't spin this our way even if we wanted to.)
It's "funny" though, how this is perceived. In all of the wars with U.S. involvement, going back to Korea, we've had to fight against weapons supplied by Russia (or USSR) and/or China.
Ike was unwilling to cross the Yalta line dividing Europe and chose to let the Hungarian Revolution fail rather than potentially ignite a war in which our own soldiers and nation would be at risk.
Ike literally put America first, ahead of the Hungarians.
Eisenhower wan an intelligent man who loved his country. Biden is a fool who would sell us out in a New York Minute...
Good grief, you're blind to what our foreign policy has been toward Russia and how it lead this war.
We fomented a revolution in Ukraine in 2014, caused an eight-year civil war in Donbass, trained and funded neo-Nazi Ukrainian nationalists that went on persecute the Russian population. Ukraine signed the Minsk Agreement in 2015 that would have brought peace to the region and, with our approval, refused to abide by it.
We promised the Russians no eastward expansion of NATO in the early 1990s. Even Biden warned in 1997 the Russians wouldn't tolerate an eastward expansion of NATO. Then, we've teased NATO membership in Ukraine while arming it with offensive weapons and while funding 29 biolabs with deadly pathogens in them.
There is NO chance that we tolerate Russia or China aligned with Mexico, arming it and operating biolabs with deadly pathogens in them.
Russia, in fact, in December, made their security concerns public and sought to negotiate with Biden regime before this war started. If we had promised no NATO membership for Ukraine and Ukraine agreed to implement the Minsk Agreement, this war would not have happened. Instead, we teased NATO membership for Ukraine and let Zelensky express a desire for Ukraine to obtain nuclear weapons. THE BIDEN REGIME WANTED THIS WAR TO OCCUR.
We've implemented a highly aggressive anti-Russian policy. Why? Because globalists hate nationalists that are a hinderance to their agenda (Trump, Orban, Le Pen as well as Putin).
We made Russia our enemy unnecessarily and have pushed into an alliance with China. It's our provocation that is responsible for us being on the verge of WWIII.
