Should the US be supporting Ukraine?

Simple question, simple answer.

Simple question, simple answer.

Except it's not simple. "Support" can mean a wide range of things, and many people have their different levels of support they are prepared to approve

Yes

How about the support we are currently providing, is it to little or to much?

 

[LouC]

Simple question, simple answer.

I voted NO.

But it is too late, I am resigned to the fact we already are, so if that is the case President Joe Biden needs to ask Congress to declare war on Russia and let us go all in, now, today, BOOM.

 

[Juin]

Simple question, simple answer.

The Ukrainians say it is way too little. The Ukrainians will like a couple of nukes for starters.

I suppose it's about the right amount of support in this moment. We are making it difficult on the Russians while not escalating things in the process. It seems to me that this should have been anticipated and more should have been done to deter a Russian invasion.

Zelensky is getting this hero status while people forget he didn't think the Russians were gonna invade. He could have had his country better prepared. I suppose he is doing a fine job now.

If we didn't live in a global economy I'd say let them deal with it.

Simple question, simple answer.

So, what is your answer. & again, there should be an Other option.
p.s. I'm Yes.
I think NATO should vote Ukraine in on an emergency vote & really support them.

Ukraine has been fighting Russians for a number of years already.

No. It's about much more than our economic interests.

 

[jpevans]

No. It's about much more than our economic interests.

IMO, it's about allowing a sovereign state to exist, inside their own borders.

 

[Napoleon]

No. Not our circus. Not our monkeys.

The present borders are too unstable. What Ukraine needs is a much smaller, ethnically pure Ukrainian state in a smaller space. Ethnic Russians in Ukraine don't want to be part of the ethnic Ukrainian project. They should be able to get out.

Why are they fighting with other Ukrainians Against the invaders.

 

[Ren]

Simple question, simple answer.

No. We have enough problems right here in our own backyard.

 

[Lycanthrope]

Given that it's a simple question with no discussion as to what support entails, I'll say yes. I would think all Americans have a visceral reaction when a sovereign nation is invaded by a foreign power. Smacks us right in the historical feels.

Yes, the world and all that can should and tIMO his part of another person's answer below fits nicely

Since when?😂

 

[Lycanthrope]

Since when?😂

The fact that America is often the foreign power doing the invading doesn't change the emotional reaction.

Especially not for those Americans fully vested in the nation's mythos.

Ahh, a love the smell of ethno-nationalism talking points in the morning!

Uhhh...should we tell him?

Hell no, leave me in the sweet bliss of ignorance's embrace.

Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait....

The US actively supported Iraq invading Iran. It happily supported Indonesia rolling into East Timor and China invading Vietnam. And that’s not even getting into all those wars where we were the ones rolling the tanks in.

A mythos is a mythos for a reason.
