So what? Most people in Europe do not know where Washington state is.

Anyway US already intervened in Ukraine several times. I just hope this will not become another Iraq.

Do they have strong opinions about European intervention in Washington state?
That's a bit unfair, though, as Washington State is an internal subdivision. That's like asking an American where Galicia is (either the Spanish or the Ukrainian one).

And the US will not actively intervene in the Ukraine, since NATO, as an organizational entity, would probably be damaged badly. Most of Europe wants to stop the Russian Bear but also wants to keep the situation from escalating.

If the US pushed for an intervention against the opposition of key NATO members (after having done so so in Iraq), where would that leave NATO?

When did US intervened in Ukraine?
Has Washington state been on the news in Europe a lot recently?
