Americans are generally united on helping to arm Ukraine. Putin can do what he wants, we're going to wreck his country's economy and the army of Internet trolls regurgitating his propaganda.
LOL, you do realize we are giving Putin around $70 M per day, right? (for Russian energy)...how does it feel, as an American citizen, to know your hard earned tax money is helping support Putins invasion?
The fuse that started World War I was the sinking of the British cruise liner Lusitania, which was carrying about 173 tons of war munitions for Britain.
On May 7, 1915 the German U-boat U-20 torpedoed and sank the Lusitania while she was cruising across the Atlantic from New York to Liverpool, England. Of the 1,959 men, women, and children on board, 1,195 perished, including 123 Americans. It was this incident that was the primary reason for the US to enter WWI.
Currently, almost all NATO countries, including the USA, are supplying Ukraine with lethal anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles. They are even considering sending fighter jets.
Putin is fully aware of this - so he might order the downing of planes or the bombing of trains or truck convoys that are suspected of transporting these weapons to Ukraine.

Actually on fox news last night the said we have not imported any oil from Russia in 2 weeks.
So all the chatter that we are still buying Russian oil is false. But the dems and GOP need to come up with a plan to produce more oil. Ween Europe offers Russian oil and gas. The electric cars are fine down the road.
NATO and GB - supplying Ukraine with free to grab arms, WILL create gangs and warlords. When Germany created its Folksschturm troops to defend Berlin, in 1944/45, by allowing volunteers to be armd, they had them organized into small units and EACH UNIT was assigned a not capable of active duty, experienced soldier, usually, and upper limb amputee, to CONTROL and guide such troops.
Not bringing trucks of weapons into the streets and giving them away left and right to those, who then disappeared with them or started selling them on their local craigslists.

What I notice from these pro Russian rants is a complete lack of admitting even the slightest responsibility of Putin or Russia in this mess. If he gives up and sends his troops home none of the above happens. All of this is on Putin
Many nations including NATO are already sending arms to Ukraine.
Nations in NATO, not NATO. Every nation that's sending arms is in UN as well, but UN isn't sending weapons, right?
