That's ridiculous logic. We SHOULD care and we SHOULD help Ukraine. But absolutely ZERO US forces should be in the fight or supporting te fight. Scoff at sanctions all you want but they can be effective if there is broad buy in and if done correctly. We should be supplying lethal and no lethal aid as well. If Russia attempts to occupy Ukraine there will be an insurgency....... Obviously there are other ways to help as well. Again - no US Service member should ever be in the line of fire. All of the isolationist, anti-NATO rhetoric is myopic and will harm us in the medium to long term.
Generally agree.

I'd be OK with very limited, very LO, SOF/OGA involvement on the ground... basically to acquire info or perform specific objectives which can't be had any other way. Several good reasons to keep that clandestine of course.
