In early 2022 the Russian military built up a force fighter jets, air defense systems and 100,000 troops along its border with Ukraine. Military experts say the buildup gives the Russian military an array of options including seizing the entire territory or certain parts within the country. Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union before it collapsed at the end of the Cold War in 1991.

No direct military intervention, there should be a precedent for peace, but once the war is over, we should contribute to the redevelopment of Ukraine
@938QWQZ3yrs3Y
No, but they should provide weapons and training to Ukrainian forces to defend their own country
@92W29CRNew Democratic3yrs3Y
As of right now, Ukraine is doing fine against Russia, and NATO joining would only increase the threat of nuclear war
@92V82933yrs3Y
@92PM7QJ3yrs3Y
No, arming Ukraine and supporting it through aid should be prioritized.
@92PCC5Q3yrs3Y
No unless NATO is being directly effected by Russia’s actions.
@92PC7KV3yrs3Y
Only if Russia poses a threat to any other country in NATO
@92JWPGRNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, but only to a certain degree
@92CTVPF3yrs3Y
Only when and if Ukraine joins NATO, at which point it will be subject to NATO's collective defense.
@92B4S5T3yrs3Y
No, simply because that would trigger a world war, which would undeniably go horribly wrong due to nuclear warheads. We should instead supply Ukraine with the materials necessary to defend their sovereignty.
@9278BY73yrs3Y
I think they should if Kyiv is captured
@9235Q2J3yrs3Y
No, this would currently provoke a nuclear exchange
@8ZZSYGK3yrs3Y
Yes but only to help Ukraine, not to harm anyone else.
@8ZZ2TB63yrs3Y
yes, and help with other wars too
@baloneymaloney3yrs3Y
The U.S. and NATO should support Ukraine to help them defend their own country, but not directly fight for them against Russia
@8ZX5XJM3yrs3Y
No, and we should help Russia
@8ZSLL2J3yrs3Y
Military supplies and volunteer forces should be sent, but no conscription or officially joining the war.
@8ZBH3YQ3yrs3Y
Not the US because Putin is waiting for it to act so he can use his nuclear weapons, but NATO should
@92PSZX3New Democratic3yrs3Y
No, but provide as much aid as possible without risking the start of a larger war
@92569NCLibertarian3yrs3Y
If the war continues to persist then yes.
@9228GBBConservative3yrs3Y
Only if the risk possibility is low
