Didnt change anything for you. You already thought that I was an american boot liker. So that just confirms it I guess.
I am an honest war hawk. Is the war in ukraine honestly enough to put boots on the ground? Nope. Is it worth spending my taxes on? Probably. If anything it gives us combat data which is gonna be worth it for a war with china. Because let's be real they are the real threat to us. Kneecaping you is apart of the game. Taking care of home issues while we have some freed up time to take care of china. 2 front war to 1 front.
What LloydAsher is missing is that while a war with China where the USA is involved is currently likely; It will largely be a naval war, with perhaps a bit of air force. It will not be the Army or Marines.
However, a air and land war in Europe between Russia and NATO was also a possibility. At this point Russia no longer has much of an Army so it becomes less likely. I agree with LloydAsher about supporting Ukraine for several reasons, including that they are essentially destroying the Russian Army and munitions stockpile necessary for Russia to mount a future war. It will take Russia several decades to rebuild - if they will have the money necessary to do so. But, that is something Russia has chosen to do believing that the short term gains in Ukraine will make it worthwhile - except that there have been no significant short term gains.
I should probably add that yes I didnt consider the army and marines not needing to be involved with china that's on a case per case basis depending on where they are needed to do the fighting.
I'm mostly betting on india wanting to gain back old territory if they side with us. As india has been playing both sides to the ukrainian conflict hopefully they see what disaster that would of been to fully back the russians.
India may be working with crap equipment but they are the best mountain fighters we could gain and that could put some pressure on Beijing to keep its rear secured Himalayan mountains or not.
That being said I think russia needs to be tossed from the security counsel, china too. Should of added the inclusion of a way to throw out members for their current actions not for technicalities we could BS through like if Russia isnt a continuation state of the USSR or that China is actually Taiwan. Granted with that logic the UK will probably be tossed out too but they can be added back, maybe add Germany and japan to the council to balance it back out.
I think being run by a dictator should exclude you from being on the security council.
Ukraine and other countries are right that the current UN structure is not working, and needs to be changed. Just like the League of Nations did not prevent WW II, and was replaced by the UN.
In my dreams I can see the UN Charter being amended to eliminate permanent members and their unique veto power in the Security Council. The Security Council being made up of the 15 top economies in the world, with 15 rotation positions among the other nations. That UN Security Council action would occur on 75% or 80% of Security Council members vote.
That would make the Security Council much more effective, and they could have blockaded Russia up front at the start of this war.
There are people talking about what changes are needed... and those ideas are all under consideration.
Note that Russia would only occasionally be on the security council if the above were established as their economy is too small for them to qualify for "stable" membership, and they would occasionally serve as a rotating member.
I would support that if there wasnt enough billion dollar oil reserves controlled by dickbags. That and china would still be on that ticket as well, and they can manipulate their currency whenever suits the parties intrest.
Realistically it's going to be the countries that win ww3. Or the ones that survive I guess.
Please look up the size of the Russian Economy compared to other nations (by Gross Domestic Product - GDP). Russia and everyone else should be treated at the level they are... with encouragement to do better.
Pre the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine by Russia - Russia was at about #11 by GDP. By the end of next year its likely to be about #20 by GDP (and could drop lower).
That's the Choice Putin and the Russian Government chose, with many Russians supporting that.
It's a generally free world in this case. Each country can choose what they want their economy to do. Just don't complain about the results of the choices that your county has made - especially since you seem to back them.
What is the main cause for food price increase?

Then dont be apart of it. It's the UN minus russia then. Dont be mad then when you get excluded from global decision making.
Abducting ukrainian civilians and putting them 3000 miles away doesnt make you guys look good.
