“And still can not expel Russia from Ukraine.
“
We could if we got in it. Even with our Biden weakened military we can still crush Russia. It just isn’t worth the cost.
You mean like sending warships through the strait of Taiwan to intimidate a country?
They can. They just won’t.
Sure, there is something called nuclear deterrent. Russia may have enough counter attack capabilities if United States got directly involved in a war with Russia and pushed Putin into a corner. May be you do not care, but I definitely do not wish to risk a nuclear exchange for saving borders of most corrupt country in Europe. Neocons would love for US to get involved in a direct war with Russia. That would be great boost to Military Industrial complex in USA.
May be “they” are smart enough to not get involved in a direct war with Russia and risk a nuclear war with Russia.
