        Most of them ask the US for help. It’s not some kind of gotcha, Ukraine would love US troops to shoot down Iranian drones

          Doesn’t mean they should go in, like in Vietnam. Nor in Iraq. Nor in Afghanistan. Nor in…

            They should definitely help Ukraine more. If US had troops deployed in Ukraine prior to the war the outcome would be better than what is happening now.

              I’m not sure how that is relevant, nor how that is backed up by any historical examples of US intervention.

                South Korea is free because of the US. Everything would be North Korea now if the US did nothing

          Assad asked for Iran’s help while fighting ISIS and Turkish backed Islamist militants. Whatever you think about it, they are there legally and with the concent of the government in power.

                It’s not irrelevant, the whole world is choosing sides

                Russia, Assad, Iran + proxies (Houthis, for example) are the “hate America” side
