In March 2014, Russian soldiers entered Ukraine and took control of several strategic positions within the country. The following month the Ukrainian parliament declared that its territory was officially being occupied by Russia. The invasion was immediately condemned by the U.S. and other U.N. member states as a direct invasion of a sovereign country and an act of war.

Ukraine needs to sort itself out, first. Once they have a legitimate government in place, then we can help them. As it stands, the only reason we are there is to protect corporate interests, particularly those of members of the current Presidential administration.

Yes- we should outlaw major war by declaring "The next country to invade another we will turn to glass within 24 hours of their aggression. As the leading superpower we will not tolerate war- and any organization acting on behalf of a country or claiming to- will reduce that country's population to zero. Again- we WILL NOT tolerate war any longer. The age of peace has finally come to the earth. Be productive, and TRADE. IF you decide to fight, we will kill you. Simple decision.

Yes, but only with supplies and equipment.
@5H4JKB24yrs4Y
No, and the US needs to honor the agreements made between Gorbechev and Reagan and stop agitating Russia for geopolitical reasons.
@7YNGP9T2yrs2Y
Yes, but we should also pursue diplomatic options to bring this conflict to an end as quickly as possible to prevent as much loss of life as possible
@7PTCG382yrs2Y
Yes, we should provide them weapons to defend themselves, but any usage of our troops should be coordinated with our NATO allies' troops through the United Nations
