Neither are the balkan countries and many ME countries the US is so willing to bomb or send troops to. Its coz ukraine doesnt have anything to give the US hence its interests are not there. Not to mention Turkey is part of NATO and we know how democratic and not corrupt it is so the excuse is bs The American ppl dont want to go to any war but who will tell that to the congressman that vote for these things and those lobbys. The pentagon is way to strong to be ignored. The world media can blame Russia all they want but the US, EU countries and NATO all failed to protect Ukraine from invasion. Today at work we were discussing this coz my boss has studied in the US so he knows the mindset of the ppl there and the mindset of the government.
Manny I live here and I know the mindset of the people here and I studied here too and I am raising 2 kids and one of them is a World Affairs champ (my son), won National level quiz contests. He will be the right person to give them all an answer. You all have no clue what the people think here and this time both sides of the aisle don’t want to get involved in this mess.
Ukraine has mo resources, you should be kidding. It has plenty of natural resources including oil. And then the Chernobyly, did you forget that which Russian has taken control of it, If US’s only motto was resources, they should have supported them but this time stance is clear, as of now there is no intention to send any troops. US has already 8500 troops in Poland which has been put on alert. People here don’t want nuclear warfare, which is the possible outcome if USA got involved and Putin is megalomaniac, who will do anything to win.
P.S: FYi, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia are part of NATO except Belarus which is again ruled by a dictator,
