Because NATO (including the USA) fear a direct confrontation with Russia, even if it is on Ukrainian territory. They have allowed themselves to be intimidated by Putin's threat of using nuclear weapons.

I’ve been asking that same thing about how Republicans treat the Rule of Law as compared to Democrats for years! Democrats penalize Sex Offenders Republicans Elect them President! And the “News Media” ignores the Difference!

🤔🤔🤔

IOKIYAR (R can stand for both Republican and Russian)

Does begging count? Cuz I'm pretty sure Zelenskyy has done that.

They can

??????? Exactly.

What are the chances Trump would send troops to support Russia in those scenario?

Yes!!!!!!!

Truth!

Easy. Republicans worship trump, Putin owns trump.

Alls fair in love and war.

Exactly

Secretly they probably do this.🫣

Ask Jake Sullivan. He's made a career of justifying self-deterrence.

No one seems to want call putin's bluff about nuclear weapons.

Makes sense.

You've clearly never heard of MAD.

Starting Monday we will no longer be a nation that helps people in need. Instead we will concentrate on lining the pockets of that crooked ass trump family and their rich friends.

Don’t get it.

Sounds fair to me!!!

Because kkkristofascism. Start using that phrase to explain everything and you'll start to understand it all better.

Good question!!would you please become a Dem!!!!

Excellent question and food for thought.

Not the same thing.

It would have to be a non-NATO country. Any suggestions?

Excellent,and sickening, point!

Trump wants WW3 but with America as the bad guy.

Exactly bc they had our back & Trump & Putin don’t like that.

Absolute nonsense. 1) The US has already made it clear to Russia that if it uses *tactical* nukes against Ukraine then the response will be conventional, but devastating. 2) As for *strategic* nukes, the MAD principle has always and *still* applies (Mutually Assured Destruction).

I am not sure we can say any other nation getting involved leads to WW3... I mean, say Zimbabwe sent troops. I doubt that is the kickoff to a global war.

Yeah, I’m really over this rules for thee but not for me 🐂 💩.

Dear Adam, I stand with you. However, our next President will end Ukraine. You know it as well as most people. Stop pretending... either pick up a weapon or shut the fuck up.

Good question. Anybody in our govt with the courage to answer? Better yet is there another totally insane country like N Korea that would go?

Probably NATO rules.

This! Why can’t #NATO countries provide air cover for #Ukraine?

I thought China won’t allow Putin to use nuclear weapons

Ahhh should have … But too late now .

They can!

And Chinese soldiers too

When the mothers comes out.....Thats when he will deal with it!!!

Same playground rules.

Right

But deescallation… #Sullivanism

I think they should

BC that would cross Putin’s 19th red line that’s been drawn

Been asking myself that same question since Ukraine offered to return NK soldiers in exchange for Ukrainian soldiers.

They might be tired of it but they're to cowardly to go against their dear leader for fear of being primaried

Psychopaths have very different priorities than the sane

I agree. I offer no solutions, just suggestions/opinion. We had every opportunity to do just that and did not. We provided some support; too little, too late. With 45 taking over, I don’t believe Ukraine will receive any more support from America. Just for today and until it does or doesn’t happen.

Because dickless billionaires are making the "rules" now; Rules that they themselves have no intention to follow.

It did, but those nations are too dependent on Russian gas to get involved.

Because that's how you get World War Three.

🎯

Sounds logical to me but given who we are dealing with.....

Great plan. I like to flip the script. Works Everytime

I agree, but if any country that is NATO did this, Russia will say "That's an action of war", and start blowing things in other countries.

Tit for tat.

Kamikaze North Koreans? Their version of the notebook is a little different than Nicholas Sparks' version.

Good question

10,000 troops from Ukraine friendly countries vs 10,000 from Russian friendly countries. Yup, let's do that!

Absolutely 💯

The answer is very complicated and involves some higher math.

Completely agree

They can - but they are afraid of Putin and nuclear weapons.

A good question the answer to which Putin will soon have to confront if the elites in Russia don't deal with him first. I don't know little about politics in Russia but leaders never seem to end up in a good spot. In the end, people do wise up. How many assassination attempts did Hitler face?

This is the backbone of conservatism. You can't be just seeing it now.

I'm just surprised Biden didn't already have boots on the ground -- god knows we've spent enough money, why not some blood? I'm not saying Russia should take Ukraine over. It's a shit show. Just like Washington & the incoming administration.

Ahhh…I think they have.

Perfectly valid Q demonstrating the chaos of it all.

Because NATO and other western nations keep buying into Russia’s nuclear bluff, limiting response as a result.

Unfortunately Ukraine doesn't have as strong partners than russia. Even the volunteers from any country do not have the approval of their governments (as far as I understand), or any assistance outside support given by volunteers.

Exactly!!

I'm sure the Ukrainians would be happy to welcome the intervention of US forces.

That makes so much sense 👏

They can and they did. Nobody come.

French Rafales and Swedish Gripens also carry Meteor missiles. The Gripens also carry BriteCloud decoys, as well as IRIS-T missiles, which I've read can shoot down air-to-air missiles (AAMs) and surface-to-air missiles (SAMs).

The UN General Assmbly can take a vote which overrules the Security Council.

You're right, but it's splitting hairs imo. There's nothing stopping western countries from closing Ukrainian airspace, which Zelensky has been asking for from the get-go. It would be *very* easy for the west to deny Ukrainian airspace to Russia.

I throw that question back to you, why?

Right?! I was hoping France would follow through in sending personnel to shore up Ukraine’s backlines and major metropolitan areas.

Good question … one playing by the rules, one of the them isn’t … can compare what is happening in America right now - one party plays by the rules, one of them doesn’t, double standard!?

LoL do you seriously want to test that theory out?

Can we invite Canada and Mexico to help kick out Trump?

Crazy to have rules of engagement

Because Europe is full of pussies?

Trump administration will have NO INTEGRITY or HONESTY

This. While it may be logical, on many levels, for other nations to assist Ukraine the possibility of Putin hitting the nuclear button exists, if he feels sufficiently provoked.

Ukraine should invite Finland to help and bring that dude from Sisu.

Fair is fair.

Because Biden

Sure they can. But who wants to go there?

It can (if it can).

Oh they can, but we don't wanna fight. It's not even about nukes, Putin has a good life as is. That's why we won't let Ukraine join NATO now- we'd have to protect it. With the wuss Rump, it's even worse, even if he just sits watching, not to mention he's willing to take money to not react. It's bad

Russia Doesn’t Play Fair .

They already have. We and NATO are too chicken shit to do anything about it.

Hire Anonymous to hit Putin's loot.

Fear of global war?

Absolutely. And they should.

When they are wounded, Russians are killing them to hide their identity. They have Tuva passport but Korean diaries.

I didn't know there was a rule that said that they couldn't! As a matter of fact Great Britain and the United States of America promised them if they gave up their nuclear arsenal we would come to their defense. That was the deal! I know I'm not wrong about that.

It did, their foreign legion. We just don't throw our soldiers into foreign wars on a whim. Kim pretty much said, "Here are our volunteer(ed) foreign legion."

I’ve been wonder the exact same thing. We know Pootin’s nuke threats are empty. I bet the nukes are all rusty and leaky, like his military was a the beginning of their invasion.

Hell of an idea

Makes sense to me!

They can.

There's no reason but we don't want to kick off WW3 either.

The man makes a good point.

Exactly

An amazing point!

they can but it would violate international law, just like Russia always does
