No it wouldn't be a declared war, that's just silly on your part. Though we understand that you need to believe that to be true because that's your justification for that which there is no justification in regard to Russia.
Don't misunderstand me it's up to the Ukrainian people whether they want to continue the war and we'll keep supplying weapons. As an observer from the outside the war doesn't look like it at the beginning (they still own the north) and now retreating or regrouping gives me an uneasy feeling. For the next Arms Transfers to Ukraine (pretty impressive list) we should see an improvement, if not then Zelinsky better start thinking of peace talks to SAVE LIVES.
And did we invade Cuba over it? Keep in mind that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was [ostensibly] over them simply looking like they might join NATO - there were no NATO missiles (nuclear or otherwise) based or even planned to be based in Ukraine.
Russia is certainly making a very good case for NATO's existence at the moment. It's somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy - if you start attacking countries because they want to join a collective defense alliance, joining the alliance sooner rather than later (i.e. before you get attacked) suddenly starts looking like an attractive proposition for your other neighbors.
Yeah, that was never a thing. The "not one inch eastward" statements by Baker were made in 1990 - prior to the collapse of the USSR - and (being the US Secretary of State) he had no authority to speak on behalf of NATO or make any binding agreements on its behalf anyways. The dissolution of the USSR in July of 1991 fundamentally changed the landscape of European alliances; you can't reasonably claim that assurances made when the USSR was still whole and the Warsaw Pact still existed should have held.
NATO was not involved in Iraq. NATO countries made up parts of both coalitions (1991 and 2003), but neither was a NATO operation.
Ask the Albanians how they felt about being massacred.
Again, not NATO. Russia and Iran are the primary foreign operators in Syria, with the US, UK, France, and Turkey providing assistance to Syrian resistance fighters.
I Agree, the Ukranian grave yards are full, they are looking at high school kids and retirement homes for involuntary enlistment, they have been out of ammo for months, the MSM isn't telling the truth, Pytin's Russia is pounding them with artillery fire, drones, missiles
This war didn't start in Feb 2022, it started when the USA overthrew Ukraines government in Feb 2014, and installed a hostile government towards Russia
