What makes you think the American public will demand "more"? I'm genuinely interested to hear perspective on this. Of course it's a humanitarian crisis but why this one, why now, why us? We could have sent our sons and brothers to die in Africa decades ago to fight far worse humanitarian atrocities, no?
Depending on where you get your news, allegedly public support for joining NATO in Ukraine was barely 50% AFTER Russia annexed Crimea. Before that it was like 20%?
This has nothing to do w NATO. That’s the excuse. It’s the age old reason. Territory. Expansion. Money (oil pipeline). Strategic defense. And because he can. He knows the US has a mentally compromised limp-wristed president. The American public has war fatigue.
HOWEVER. As the media continues the 24 hr a day cycle of showing women and children crying, bombing civilians, and the eventual (but yet) human catastrophe due to starvation and lack of medical care the American public will demand more. Not boots on the ground, but a massive transfer of lethal weapons, jets, intelligence and logistical support, food and supplies, funding and more isolation of Putin. Lastly, covert ops and the CIA on the ground in Moscow.
Just keep the women and babies crying on tv. Political pressure will continue to mount and as we near the election Brandon will do something intended to garner support but he’ll Phuck it up.
Add the looming economic outlook ie cost of living and fuel prices at home the public will hold the Dems responsible. The Dems could very easily launch us into a war in order to distract the sheeple.
BTW what happened to COVID?
