Showing Original Post only (View all)Should Congress declare war on Russia? [View all]
Let's not hide behind euphemisms of 'intervention' or 'no fly zones' and acknowledge we will fight the enemy we spent decades preparing for. If we do go into Ukraine at least some of NATO (the Baltic States, Norway, Poland, Romania) would follow; the majority would probably support the effort to various degrees.
There is no doubt we would "win" but there will be a cost yet to be determined. It is also possible the conflict would spread beyond Ukraine to Russia, Europe and the United States.
Should the US go to war with Russia?

No. Don't expect a war with Russia to have some kind of rules. It won't. Ukraine is not asking us
