I don't care to get into an argument with a bunch of people that want to get into a shooting war with Russia over country we don't have an alliance with.
A country we have an alliance with? Sure.
But, for those of you who are still reading - you think the US could have done something in 1939 about Hitler's annexation of the Zudenland? Or, England? You're dreaming. We could do something about Russia invading Ukraine. We could get into a shooting war with Russia. Over Ukraine. Over a region of the country that is predominantly Russian speaking.
Our Ukrainian friend's response early on "well, before Russia invaded, we wouldn't have cared whether that region was Russian or Ukrainian. But, since they invaded ... fck them! To the death!"
We're going to get into a shooting war over a region that the people of that country don't really care about?
Go for it. Hope everyone has their iodine pills. We have strip mall behind our house that is partially underground. That's where we're going if we have notice. You all should have a plan, too.
Again, if Russia invaded any NATO country, it's on.
And, ya, we should change our stated policy wrt Taiwan. The policy is we might defend them, we might not. The policy should be we defend Taiwan.
