It would have to if the Ukraine is invaded AcertainLiz Apr 2014 #11

Why? We have no accords with Ukraine. They are not a part of NATO Bandit Apr 2014 #15

Well, the US has enough vital interests in the Ukraine to get involved in its politics AcertainLiz Apr 2014 #19

Well we certainly know who the dreamer is. Bandit Apr 2014 #20

Oh, please AcertainLiz Apr 2014 #21

If any NATO country were to be attacked we would get involved but Ukraine nor Crimea Bandit Apr 2014 #22

Crimea wasn't attacked, it was just Russians already stationed there securing the area AcertainLiz Apr 2014 #23

What troops? nadinbrzezinski Apr 2014 #42

I think the Ukranians would want to be defended now AcertainLiz Apr 2014 #44

Why isn't there an option for "not officially or overtly"? Raksha Apr 2014 #14

"Involved," in what manner? 1000words Apr 2014 #16

No, but we should send those militia guys from Nevada XRubicon Apr 2014 #17
