Do Americans? Does it matter? They either can't or won't do anything to stop it.

[jfengel]

The Americans could stop it, by throwing Ukraine under the bus.

I think most Americans oppose that, but I'm genuinely not certain. Arguably, that is what we just voted for, and I'm a bit surprised we haven't already done it.

[polotics]

Certainly not. Throwing Ukraine under the bus would open the door for Latvia Estonia Lithuania to be subjugated next, followed by Moldova then Romania. Once a war economy is started, there are many reasons and interests at play that make it very hard to stop.

As it turns out, the situation is more complex than Trump anticipated (well if that won’t be a recurring thing…)

[ajuc]

Of course they can. They already forced their government out of a war once. They don't want to, because they get away with it so far.

[mojomark]

Lol, yes, it matters. That haven't done anything yet. Governments are subject to coups all the time[1] (and thanks to Trumpalumpa ding dong, the US presidency is no exception)
