Let me guess you’re a Russian troll who gets a kick watching Putin flex his muscle. Why do we care? Because In this day and age power houses like Russia or any country for that matter especially European should not be free to go occupy and invade other countries without being punished. Ukraine is the largest European country after Russia but it can’t defend itself against Russias military on its own. . More bloodshed and murder of innocent civilians, displaced people, lack of basic essentials for what? The fact that you think that’s is fine is disgusting
Two points: Point 1. A quick review of Saddam Hussein crossing into Kuwait, June, 1990. Point 2. Risk/reward.
This current Ukraine/Russia issue is similar to Kuwait/Iraq/K.S.A. issue, June, 1990. U.S. initially had a vague attitude about Iraq going into Kuwait then several hours later, U.S. decided to make an issue. Desert Shield/Desert Storm was expensive. U.S. was able to get K.S.A. to pay much of U.S.' expenses. H.W. Bush and his advisors didn't consider oil prices were going to go up and stay up for awhile. U.S. suffered Stagflation. A recession with high oil prices. Should current U.S. president ruin his reelection probability for Ukraine? Why?
Point 2. Risk/reward. Do you know exactly how U.S. may react if U.S. loses or U.S. is losing? Russia has home field advantage. Russia does not have complicated supply lines. U.S. does not have home field advantage. U.S. will have complicated supply lines. France and Germany don't want to help U.S. U.S., regarding tanks are out numbered. U.S. Army generals in 1980's openly discussed use of tactical nukes due to U.S. poor tank ratio versus then Soviet Union. U.S. still has a poor tank ratio versus Russia. U.S. military currently is set up to beat up on Underdeveloped Nations, countries with no tanks. No matter how important you believe is Ukraine, U.S. fighting Russia would risk nuclear conflict.
I don't believe Ukraine is worth it. There is no contract to honor in regard to defending Ukraine.
Not everyone who disagrees with you is a Russian troll.
