Fuckingmallam45:

USA will definitely protect Ukraine, probably sha grin
One reason is US credibility.

If the US can’t or does not protect Ukraine from Russia, other countries like Taiwan, Japan and South Korea would question if the US had the ability and will to protect them if China or Russia became more belligerent.

If the US does not protect Ukraine, those countries would have to renegotiate their relationships with the US, China and Russia. The US would lose out in these negotiations. China and Russia would demand US troops be reduced or removed from those countries and they may have to accept the Yuan and the Ruble as currencies when buying and goods.

The US dollar would lose its status as the world’s main reserve currency and cause inflation in the US. The price of gas will go up a lot even if the US is self sufficient in oil.

The West will only respond if there are binding commitments popularly known as treaties to that effect.
When there are difficult decisions to be taken involving war particularly against a mighty adversary, where the resources of the nation are required it takes more than just the will of leadership to mobilize military resources.
In democracies the people through their legislature will require legal commitments before their sacrifice for a lot of reasons.

So, to fight Russia is not a small thing. It will take the entire nation of the United States to do that so the authority to do that must be cast in stone. The US will not go to war with another superpower just for the sake of it or to embellish egos. But it will do so if it has as a nation PROMISED TO PROTECT another as a NATIONAL AGREEMENT.

This it has done for much of Europe under NATO.
This it has not done for Ukraine.
Biden has no obligation to protect Ukraine with the might and the resources of the United States and for such a situation and against such an adversary Congress is unlikely to give him permission to trigger any agreement because there isn't any.

If it had there will have been American men, means and machines stationed in the Ukraine immediately such an agreement was signed.
You do not defend an agreement after the fact. America has combat troops in every NATO country whether they are threatened or not, same with every ally it has agreements of protection with such as Japan and South Korea in Asia.

Where is that Donkey that was screaming Ukraine is wining the war on the other thread ?.

It’s a Pity Zelenskyy allowed Sleepy Joe to deceive him. He didn’t learn from the 2008 Russia/Georgia war where George Bush a Republican who loved war couldn’t confront Russia after pushing Georgia to war with Russia. I have said this and will keep seeing it. The West won’t go to war with Russia over Ukraine. These Nuclear Powers honors MAD (Mutual Assured Destruction ). They know it would be disastrous to go to war with themselves. A Third World War is equivalent to a full scale nuclear war. Stop comparing what happened in 1939 that caused the Second World War when Hitler Invaded Poland to current happenings now, times have changed. Ukraine will just suffer the brunt and nothing will happen. We the student of history knew what happened during the 1962 missile crisis in Cuba. US shouldn’t allow what they won’t take. US won’t allow Russia to site a military base around any country close to them. Russia is a big name in the league too. Putin is only fighting for the future security of his Nation.

I think the west are weighing the serious consequences joining this war will bring to d world. The moment nato and US join this war,then Russia is in for it. Is it ussr that couldn't defeat d west in first world war. Russia is alone in this fight if it escalate and nobody will join them when it leads to full blown war. Even d coward china and mouthful iran will run. Putin go commit suicide laslas

You’re very learned, Lots of people don’t see this from the angle you spoke from, US won’t even allow Mexico and Cuba be allies to the Russian but they want other people to accept what they can’t accept, Ukraine will just be suffering and US&NATO will just be issuing threats and sanctions because they can’t afford to go to war with the Russians they know it will be disastrous.

The only reason the WEST will not counter attack Russia is because they want to respect UN laws else it will be Russia vs The World.

But be it as it may, on the long run Russia will wish they never invaded Ukraine

THANK YOU!! I keep telling people that Ukraine and NATO FAILED to learn the lessons from the 2008 Ossetian War between Russia and Georgia. I dare say that NATO set this precedent with Kosovo, now it has come to bite them. Here's an advice: DO NOT POKE THE RUSSIAN BEAR!! You will get mauled! Simple.

My opinion on the war.

1. Against what the USA is doing.
2. I understand the grievances of the Russians.
3. I sympathise with Ukraine
4. In support of no one.

In the light of the above, the US should stop spreading imperialism, using Ukraine as a puppet state to contain Russia. Putin sees the game clearly, and to him, its better Ukraine go down instead. Because no matter how much the World scream usual democratic redherring such as territorial integrity, Invasion, human rights etc, we live in the real world and it's a world of strength vs weakness.

None of these screaming country will come and save Russia if the US attacks it. Where were they during the invasion of Syria, Libya, Serbia, Venezuela, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran? It was graveyard silence. We live in a eurocentric world, a world where might is right, and the west are immuned from the same rule they expect others to follow. The outcome of this war will establish to the westerners that the world is no longer a unilateral one with the US at the highest chamber.

Ukraine should have implemented the Minsk agreement, opt for neutrality like Finland and Sweden who shares borders with Russia, and enjoy relationship with the east and the west. But greed and corruption have eaten deep into the politics elites of Ukraine, that they are basically political prostitute of the west. But Russia is the worse enemy you can ever have.

You are student of history. Kudos sir!

normally the big boys will always oppress the small boys.
Ukraine disrespected Russia by trying to join NATO which means USA can put military base inside Ukraine which is a few kilometers from Moscow. Putin said they should back off Ukraine started forming strong man. Also the Russian speaking parts of Ukraine have been demanding secession since 2014 and Ukrainian government has been attacking them. So everything just reached boiling point and Putin said he's going conduct military operation in Ukraine this morning. He said the Ukrainian military should drop their weapons and go home to their families. Around 4 this morning they started attacking Ukraine. 5 never knack sef they've already burnt all Ukrainian defense system including all the drones that usa gave them. It was embarrassing I'm not going to lie.

USA have predicted that Ukraine will fall tomorrow and the president will be replaced. It is always smart to pick your enemy wisely. No go pick fight with who pass you lol

You can't blame the Ukrainian forces. They were outgunned, outmanned, and over-ran. The Russians have gain air superiority while the Ukrainian air defence and air forces are totally destroyed. There's absolutely no hope. Let's just pray the Russians decide not to match towards western Ukraine.
