      Most of them ask the US for help. It’s not some kind of gotcha, Ukraine would love US troops to shoot down Iranian drones

        Doesn’t mean they should go in, like in Vietnam. Nor in Iraq. Nor in Afghanistan. Nor in…

          They should definitely help Ukraine more. If US had troops deployed in Ukraine prior to the war the outcome would be better than what is happening now.

            I’m not sure how that is relevant, nor how that is backed up by any historical examples of US intervention.

              It’s not irrelevant, the whole world is choosing sides

              Russia, Assad, Iran + proxies (Houthis, for example) are the “hate America” side
