    Where do you draw the line as ‘directly involved’ …

    When Uncle Sam is setting up McDonald’s for its own soldiers to eat while US Military Logistics is busy in the background handling 50+ direct shipments of men and materials a day into their operating base.

    They are doing everything in Ukraine expect for the literally pulling a trigger

    BWUA HA HA HA!!! What we’re doing right now isn’t even 3% of what we did in the Gulf. I should post that damn Shaggy “1% of my power” meme because it’s vastly closer to the truth than what you seem to believe.

    If the US was directly involved we’d have Air Superiority in Ukraine in less than a week and within 30 days both East and South Ukraine would look like the surface of the moon. Russian ground forces would literally be fighting in the shade of skies filled with F-35s, F-16s, Apaches, and Tomahawks. B-2s would be running non-stop missions from the States and the US Navy would be blasting the holy hell out of anything that twitched.

    THAT is what it looks like when the US gets directly involved. All we’re doing right now is playing patty-cake. We have oodles of military and diplomatic capacity to spare for Israel. It’s not even a question and if you think its any different, well, I suggest you rewatch some footage from GWOT and Gulf War I.
