Topic Question
Should or should not the US American Troops be sent to fight in Ukraine? (No they should not)
Background:
On February 24, 2022 Russian military forces invaded the independent and democratic nation of Ukraine. Ukraine is not a member of either the European Union (EU) or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), though it would like to join both and made that desire known before the invasion. Western European nations and the United States have condemned the Russian invasion and imposed severe sanctions on Russia and its leadership. Western European nations and the United States have also supplied money and weapons to Ukraine, and they have given asylum to millions of Ukrainian refugees. None, however, have committed to sending troops to fight alongside the Ukrainians.
