In early 2022 the Russian military built up a force fighter jets, air defense systems and 100,000 troops along its border with Ukraine. Military experts say the buildup gives the Russian military an array of options including seizing the entire territory or certain parts within the country. Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union before it collapsed at the end of the Cold War in 1991. The disintegration of the Soviet Union left Russia with a vastly depleted population, territory, and economy. Now Russian President Vladimir Putin is seeking to reclaim some of that glory …

For me, I think its better not to join the war because it will be alot worse
@8Z9BN7F3yrs3Y
If Russia decides to invade violently, then they should.
@8YYX64X3yrs3Y
Yes, ONLY IF diplomatic means already failed to defend Ukraine.
@935LQR83yrs3Y
US and NATO should only send military artillery and a few of their own soldiers to aid and teach civilians, who have just recently been conscripted, and Ukrainian soldiers, how to use the weapons and protect themselves from Russians. US and NATO countries cannot send their pledged number of soldiers for NATO to help Ukraine, because Russia is an ally nation.
@8YX6WD33yrs3Y
no if we cant defend are own boarder then why should we help gard another country boarder
@Thomasjj683yrs3Y
Carpet bomb the Russians
@8YTC7DV3yrs3Y
No, other countries should get involved and then if it is really serious we can join later
@8YX5VVZ3yrs3Y
Kinda, but only if there is no way to prevent the invasion ;No if there is going to be some sort of peace treaty involved
@926BTPM3yrs3Y
No because Ukraine is its own country we can sell them weapons but we should stay out of it
@92SZVX53yrs3Y
I think Ukraine needs help but if NATO gets invloved there will be a world war and that will be worse i feel.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, destroy the Russians.
@92DC6RN3yrs3Y
No. It may cause World War 3.
@928PJ8Q3yrs3Y
No, the military should only be used for national defense
@8YWHYGD3yrs3Y
No, this would just encourage American Imperialism. Help Ukraine through humanitarian aide, canceling their debt, and sanctioning trade on Russian oligarchs and the Russian oligarchs themselves.
@8ZXD7WF3yrs3Y
No, unless there are severe violations of the Geneva Convention
@8ZSZ7LQ3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if Russia launches a military incursion into any NATO countries.
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, military action of any kind by NATO will lead to World War III (such as troops/tanks on the ground or enforcing a no-fly zone)
@MSelvig3yrs3Y
The EU should defend Ukraine if they choose to; it is their neighbor. The US should not be involved.
@92JCZ6T3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if it is clear that Ukraine is losing to Russia.
@7BS56YX3yrs3Y
Yes, But exhaust diplomacy
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, stick to indirect support.
@9334YP33yrs3Y
The US should use military forces to help Russia liberate all land occupied by the national socialist "Ukraine".
@92X5HLD3yrs3Y
No, and the only country the United States military should defend is the United States
@92ZXD5X3yrs3Y
No, not unless Ukraine joins NATO
@92XHX9V3yrs3Y
Only if Ukraine wants aid and if the US and NATO are able to support without losing stability
@932V85R3yrs3Y
Yes, but only in the event of Russia attacking other countries and starting WW3
@8YX75VS3yrs3Y
Both of russia and ukraines goverments are stupid, and should just stop.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, depending on our involvement with Russia and Ukraine. But more diplomatic ways should also be an option without adding more conflict, and acting as a peaceful barrier between the two.
@25RD7S23yrs3Y
No, they should send support, however, to avoid Russia using nuclear weapons.
@4N4Q4NY3yrs3Y
Yes, but only as a last resort after pursuing a peaceful solution.
@4T6MX6Z3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if Russia is able to make significant gains.
@3BCN8LS3yrs3Y
No, but use the full might of non military measures (such as economic sanctions, asset freezing, cyber attacks, etc.).
@8QCRDR63yrs3Y
Continue to increase supply of weapons and technology
@8QDSNZY3yrs3Y
Currently, I feel that we should continue to financially aid Ukraine and send them weapons, but sending troops seems unnecessary at the moment. I hope this issue will resolve, but we will not let Russia get away with invading a soverign nation. If Ukraine can no longer defend itself or Russia invades other nations (especially NATO territory) it will be necessary to send our troops to Europe.
@TheOGMattG3yrs3Y
No, we cannot risk escalation
@vacheesehead3yrs3Y
Yes, but inly to the point where it it endangers national security to the United States ir NATO
@48T6V4V3yrs3Y
No, and NATO should be dismantled and replaced with anti-colonial cooperative institutions

@49VGR683yrs3Y
Only as a Ukrainian-NATO ally if Russia is the initial aggressor, not if Ukraine does not join NATO or if they instigate conflict
@926BTRK3yrs3Y
Only if NATO territory is attacked.
@926BVSY3yrs3Y

@88LK76J3yrs3Y
No the Azov battalion must be destroyed
@8ZK5HYT3yrs3Y
No, we should stay out of conflicts that do not directly threaten us
@92JXK3J3yrs3Y
Only if Ukraine is losing.
@92YHQCV3yrs3Y
No, because that could Risk starting World War III, which could then evolve into a Nuclear War, which will end in Nuclear Armageddon aka a Nuclear Holocaust, resulting in the end of the world
@7G3G2W33yrs3Y
No, any direct conflict with Russia can escalate.
@michaelconnely3yrs3Y
This is an opportunity to weaken our enemy. We need to provide massive military aide and training to Ukraine. Let them destroy the Russians with our weapon systems. It is us after all who pushed to have the Ukrainians get rid of their nuclear weapons. Russia would have NEVER attacked them if they had kept their nukes.
@8YLB9QX3yrs3Y
No, because they are not currently a part of NATO.
@87ZK4XL3yrs3Y
The U.S. and NATO should support Ukraine militarily but should not send troops to fight

@7TWQJR53yrs3Y
Maybe; definitely continue to support Ukraine with aid, weapons, etc.
@85QL69F3yrs3Y
Only if the security of America is threatened
@89Q2P3Z3yrs3Y
Not at this time, I believe humanitarian efforts needs priority first.
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, we should provide them with weapons to defend themselves but not send our troops
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, our country should provide the Ukraine with weapons to defend themselves but not send our troops
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, our troops should be on standby but their usage should only be in coordination with our NATO allies through the United Nations. Continue to supply the Ukraine with weapons to defend themselves
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, our troops should be on standby but their usage should coordinated with our NATO allies' troops through the United Nations. Continue to supply the Ukraine with weapons to defend themselves
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
Yes, since the Ukraine is a partner country to the NATO military alliance and will most likely become a future member

@8Y6XX9F3yrs3Y
No, because Ukraine and Russia don't want war.
@8ZYQ3943yrs3Y
No, unless Ukraine joins NATO
@9268RLG3yrs3Y
No, I don't think we should. Because whats the point in doing it if were wasting money lives and troops on a small country that wouldn't help us
