    I have no desire for American troops to fight in Ukraine. For all those with the bloodlust. Go enlist.

    I wouldn’t go. I’d just resign my commission and wash my hands of it.

    I’m tried of everyone looking to America to come save them and they whine about Americans after we do.

        That isn’t our job. Our job is to protect our interest.

        Going to war with Russia is not in our interest. I fully support sending weapons but I don’t support US boots s on the ground and neither would the American people.

        We invaded Iraq due to violations of the 1st gulf war ceasefire.

        We invaded Afghanistan to dismantle the terrorist group that attacked America on 9/11.

        This isn’t a fight America needs to be directly involved with. If they attack an ally, that’s a different story.

        Now with the Ukrainian nuclear agreement. I felt We have an excuse to join at the start of the war but Biden didn’t follow through. If Russia drops a nuke, I feel we are obligated to put boots on the ground due to that treaty.
