Kill us all?

This PP has forgotten that we just withdrew from Afganistan and gave up on their "dreams of democracy" while throwing our own people on the ground under the bus in a rather abrupt manner.. and helping start another horrible humanitarian crisis.

^^ meant to say PP you are responding to, not you, you are right. Nobody in their right mind wants to start another war not to mention send their loved ones to risk their lives. I bet they don't even want to downgrade to a smaller less gas guzzling car or live in anything less than 4000 sq.ft.

Does this sort of thing happen more frequently than I'm aware of, and the thought is we can't get involved everywhere?

Is it because we don't have a mutual defense agreement with Ukraine?

Because we're scared of war with Russia?

Because we don't care?

I just read an article about harsh(er) sanctions we could bring to bear, but that Biden is holding those for further leverage. Leverage for what, though? The invasion has occurred? Isn't now the time to implement the harshest possible sanctions?

Simply put, are you willing to die for Ukraine? How about your kids, you willing to send them to a war and die for Ukraine?

I'll wait.

Would people now be willing to die for Poland, France and victims of the Holocaust? Probably not. It's not about Ukraine; it's about people not caring about anything anymore.

Maybe people of Ukraine no longer care that much about keeping their current government and would rather surrender and allow Putin to put his puppets in charge again, just so that they can go back to their routines lives. I doubt much would change for them. If we start a real war with Russia (something we avoided for many decades for all the good reasons) then a massive WW3 will erupt that would likely have no winners. I don't think you or Ukranian citizens want this. I honestly have no idea how all this will end. There are many good scenarios that negotiations will work soon and bad scenarios verging on Putin invading the rest of Europe, which I would think is crazy because his own army probably would go against him on this.

Au contraire! It is caring about us! I do not wish to die for some squabble or war in Europe and nor should you.
