Russia isn't waging a proxy war against Ukraine, they are attacking them directly, and suffering heavy losses. I have no doubt China would do the same.

The USA is a democracy and as such we can't get away with sending large numbers of our kids to needless slaughter.

How many us troops are in Iraq,Syria,cyprus,turkey,egypt,philipines,germany,japan,many parts of Africa both those officially reported and those they can't disclose their presence including plausible in Ukraine and or Israel/Gaza
Get ur facts straight,the president has provisions to deploy up to 90,000 troops without congressional jurisdiction
Does that sound democratic to you?
Many us servicemen and women have been sent into harms way that you don't hear in the mainstream media until public opinion shifts to such issues or until they take casualties and they can no longer hide the reports

It's quite democratic, yes. Congress specifically authorized the president to do that. And in our country, the president is elected.

Democracies aren't always right and they aren't always perfect, but they are far better than the alternative.

It's simply unfathomable that the US could engage in a war like Putin is waging now in Ukraine because our government is accountable to the people.
