Anything can happen. I hope the conflict don't go any further.
1) With the pandemic my chances of finding a job, decreased.
2) With the shitty despotic government of my country, pretty much I don't have much options.
3) Never subestimate a tyrant delusion.
No. The US will not go to war with Russia over Ukraine. But it will impose consequences on Russia if it invades.
This is common in politics. Biden's approval ratings are the lowest of any president. One way to possibly change that is some type of military conflict and hope the public rallies around him.
I don't believe we will be going to war. First-off, for a real war, Congress needs to declare it and, with so much hyperpartisan shit going on, short of another 9/11, Congress couldn't agree on which brand of toilet paper to use.
I mean if America’s government wants to keep wasting money and destroy their own economy and kill their own men, go ahead. Why would I believe US politicians when Mike Pompeo once said, “we lied, we cheated, we stole”.
Of course, we are not going to war. But if Russia escalates the war in Ukraine, then NATO has to be ready. Because all bets are off when it comes to the Baltic states, etc.
I hope not because if you do we usually join you thanks to the allied forces.
an actual war that involves Russia... would have to include submarines yes or yes, so... check underwater and look out for them
To assist Eastern Europe and nato yes but not directly America vs russia
Nope. This is called saber-rattling. Neither side wants war, and both sides know it. It may escalate, but we're not going to war.
No. I think Biden just trying to scare Putin, but won’t work. He knows NATO troops, including U. S. troops, cannot legally help Ukraine militarily, other than sending them arms, etc. we or NATO cannot go into Ukraine.
NATO can go into Ukraine, they don’t want to. And these troops are also sent to the Baltics and other NATO countries
@tartaarsaus totally disagree. Ukraine is not a member of NATO ANDBY NATO bylaws the cannot go into Ukraine.
It doesn’t matter whether you agree or disagree. By matter of statute, they can go into Ukraine if Ukraine wants them to.
If the USA wants to deploy to Ukraine, it can simply choose to do so, just like it does in many areas where NATO as a collective doesn’t deploy
Are we idiots? Probably. What would Biden's defense secretary do with his worthless defense stocks if we didn't go to war?
I don't think so. We have no defense agreement with or moral obligation to Ukraine.
probably again in another country and business that we should stay out of
"Are we going to war?"
Yes, and we'll lose again.
@Robber_Baron
Do you know for sure we are going to war?
Inflation is at a 40 year high, the stock market is crashing, the Covid pandemic is raging and the border is wide open... Biden needs a war and republicans are too stupid and useless to prevent him from doing so.
You would think they would have learned the lesson from the Russian Czar to the Argentine Dictators: going to war is generally a failure.
@Curmudgeon Only to the side that loses.
I don't understand why Europe and US are so mad to flex China are doing to to Hong Kong and others. It happens in Africa all the time and nothing is it because its Europe or they are white.
Joe can't even remember what day it is. How do you think he's gonna run a war? He's gonna blow hard a bit, then watch the Ukraine fall from the side lines.
It's very possible!! It's been pending for years!! 😣😣
Europeans consider themselves superior to Americans. So why should we spend American blood and treasure every time they can't get along?
I had to laugh, I had forgotten, it's true, Europeans do think they are superior.
8,500 that's it? That's not that much for a war. Maybe a small conflict somewhere. Not a war. And being in the military, we havnt heard a thing
@MrTaboo the 8.5K troops are to assist NATO
And nato doesn't have enough troops to conduct a war either. The USA is 80-90 of NATO assets.
