[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the vital national interest in Ukraine, if any?[/quote]

It's whether you would've stopped Hitler in 1939?  Europe (U.S. allies) are freaked out by this:

Despite the cinematic music, this is not video game footage.  It's the Russian military using incendiary weapons on civilian housing.  The Russian army has raped, pillaged, murdered, stolen children - you name it.  Go back a few pages on this post.  Yesterday the Russian State Duma and Interior Ministry were trying to determine if a girl who braided her hair blue and yellow should be labeled a traitor, an Enemy of the State.  This is an example of what plays on Russian national TV:

Also, you seem to be blissfully in the dark of how the Russians have directly manipulated US public opinion using our own social media?  Election interference ring a bell?  Active spying?  Maybe you don't watch the news?

The Cold War is hotter than it's ever been, but the American public is somewhat stupid and hasn't caught on yet.[/quote]

Putin is not hitler.

Russia is not interwar Germany.

Keep your eye on China.

We are being led by dumb strategists.[/quote]

China's watching to see whether the West will capitulate on Russia.  Because that's the green light for them to go after Taiwan.[/quote]

I promise this is an honest question but what is the strategic significance of Taiwan for the US?

That is one factor.  But the major issue is deterring big nations from annexing smaller countries.  This is how world wars start.  [/quote]

No one one gives a hoot abut that — if brazil decided to annex Uruguay, no one would care. If Australia did it to NZ, no one would care also.

It’s not big vs small

It’s about strategic hinge points.

Semis are the main factor

The second is China gets a foothold to project power into the pacific further.

Argentina tried to annex the falklands, the British smacked it down but no one was worried about world war
