    seeing how the west responded to the humanitarian crises in the middle east; and then watching the respond to ukraine; and then gaza has been re-affirming at our attitudes towards the world.

      The West created/supported the humanitarian crises in the first place as well. The bombing out of Lebanon, the War on Iraq, starving Yemen, couping Libya, and supplying, training, and working with various anti-government groups in Syria, including Daesh.

    The US can’t shoot down missiles for Ukraine because “Russia has nuclear weapons”? Do they even put in any effort for these excuses?

        But it’s shooting down missiles. America is already supplying the missiles for Ukraine to strike Russia with. Which is far more agressive

          It is a reasonable red line: if US personnel are explicitly entering the war, Russia and the US are now explicitly at war. Being at war means the US becomes a target, that Russia could, say, blow up THAAD in Israel and destroy the “secret” US base and Daesh training grounds in Jordan and Syria. At some point, nukes become relevant.

          Do you think war between Russia and the US is a good thing?
