Dude, most of Europe is also pledged to help the US when attacked. In fact the US is the ONLY country ever to have invoked article 5.
Ukraine is not a member but is strategically important to NATO because it's strategically important to the Russian empire's restoration, which we kinda want to prevent. Plus they'll be a powerful ally once they can join, which they really want to nowadays.
Now the US could go full isolationist, but if a Russian-Chinese alliance takes over all of Eurasia, y'all are really going to lose out on a lot of trade and access to resources, plus might actually be susceptible to invasion if you have no allies left.
I love how people are still delusional enough to think that Ukraine is going to join NATO.
They have no reason not to at this point.
Do you think a single Ukrainian wants to live under Russian rule now? The few I've spoken to don't even want to be spoken to in the language and that was even BEFORE 2014.
Yeah, anybody who isn't a brainwashed wasp understands that plenty of Ukrainians will be fine living under Russian rule. If you still don't get that. then you're gonna be in for a shock going forward.
I'm neither a, s nor p lmao.
So why don't you move back to Russia? Presumably you still have a citizenship.
So many Russians abroad praise the homeland while enjoying the relative freedom that other countries bring to the table. Yet none seem to understand that others don't want to live in Russia either.
Ukrainians tend to be proud of their national identity - which, yes, I know, only Russians are allowed to be, but apparently many people don't seem to care - so it's pretty hard to convince them to go back to being second class citizens of yet another attempt at a Russian Empire.
You're so utterly clueless. What do you think the civil war that started in 2014 was about genius? Go learn how Ukraine was formed instead of making clown of yourself. It's embarrassing as fuck.
Pushing that civil war narrative again, when Russian troops were involved from day one? Nice
