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.

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?
“...and will not be a cause of escalation.”
It already is. Look at the price of petroleum products thus everything you need to stay alive. And we could have afforded it if Biden would have removed the anal/cranial insertion he had and continues to display.
Before this started, Russia had the 11th most powerful economy in the world. They controlled a large percentage of petroleum products needs along with steel and wheat transfers to many countries.
We’re in a war right now with no armor thanks to liberal policies and “big talk with nothing behind it” actions. Whether it’s guns or pork bellies, it can kill just as well with the terrorism aspect of it. Fear is a powerful tool.
