Isn't this up the ukranians themselves? I mean really.

Maybe the Americans should have just given up on their revolution in order to save more lives. There is no way they could win against the might of the british empire.

Nope. The world needs Ukraine to be a buffer state. Sorry. Greatest good for the greatest number and whatnot.

No, let's escalate with the state with more nuclear missiles than the United States. Freedom first, that's what most important.

Yes, yes. Calling out the Russians for amassing 100k troops on the border of a single bordering nation was such an egregious escalation. If I was Putin and didn't plan on invading, what leaders up to half a world away were saying about my actions would absolutely make me change my mind and send them all over the border, anyway.
