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. In response NATO countries began military exercises in the region including the addition of 600 U.S. ground troops in Poland. Opponents of military action argue that the conflict the U.S. should not get involved in regional…

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.

Engage in diplomatic talks to ease tensions and rehabilitate the region so that all stake holders walk away with something to gain. It also ensures that the people in this region are saved from more bloodshed, have their own voices heard and can move on.
@5FJCR9Z3yrs3Y
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.
@5759BST3yrs3Y
Yes, but only with supplies and equipment.
@5H4JKB23yrs3Y
No, and the US needs to honor the agreements made between Gorbechev and Reagan and stop agitating Russia for geopolitical reasons.

Blinken will depart on April 23 for a four-day trip to China, where he will meet with senior Chinese officials amid heightening tensions, including over China's alignment with Russia and aggressive moves against the Philippines in the South China Sea, Politico reported.Blinken is also expected to raise U.S. concerns that Beijing is helping Russia build up its defense industry to fight the war in Ukraine."China welcomes Secretary of State Blinken to visit China in the next few days," said Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson, Lin Jian, at a regular press briefing.Blinken is visiting the world's second-largest economy to help smooth over recent strains, most notably after U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday called for sharply higher tariffs on Chinese metal products."As a matter of principle, we have consistently demanded the United States earnestly respect the principles of fair competition, respect WTO rules, and immediately stop the trade protectionist measures aimed at China," Lin said.Biden aides said the U.S. president was proposing raising to 25% tariffs imposed by his predecessor Donald Trump on certain Chinese steel and aluminum products. The proposed higher tariff rate would apply to more than $1 billion worth of steel and aluminum products, a U.S. official said.

As the United States gears up for its upcoming presidential election, Microsoft has sounded the alarm on a concerning development: Russian influence operations targeting the electoral process have begun to intensify. According to recent findings by the tech giant, Russia-linked accounts have been actively disseminating divisive content aimed at U.S. audiences. This includes criticism of American support for Ukraine amidst its ongoing conflict with Russia, highlighting a strategic attempt to sow discord and influence public opinion.Microsoft's investigation reveals that these influence campaigns have gradually increased over the past 45 days, marking a significant uptick in activity aimed at swaying the outcome of the U.S. election. Although the pace of these operations is reportedly slower than in previous election cycles, the intent remains clear: to undermine confidence in the democratic process and weaken the United States' position on the global stage.Analysts have identified several groups affiliated with the Russian government as being behind these efforts. Their objectives are multifaceted, but a key goal appears to be reducing U.S. support for Ukraine, thereby exacerbating domestic divisions within the United States. This strategy not only aims to influence the election outcome but also to erode the unity and resolve of American society and its allies.The European Union is also taking note of these developments, with EU leaders discussing potential responses to Russian meddling. There are calls within the bloc for new sanctions targeting Russia's 'malign activities,' underscoring the international concern over Russia's attempts to interfere in democratic processes not only in the United States but also within the EU.As the world watches closely, the revelations from Microsoft serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges facing democracies in the digital age. With influence operations becoming increasingly sophisticated, the need for vigilance and resilience against such threats has never been more critical. As the U.S. election draws nearer, all eyes will be on how the nation and its allies respond to these attempts at interference, with the integrity of democratic institutions hanging in the balance.
