The US is really already in the war. Shipping massive amounts of weapons and actually providing targeting for the weapons means they’re in the war.
We still don’t know how many “private contractors” they’ve sent, because we don’t know about them unless they get captured.
Obviously, the US launching a ground invasion of the Ukraine from Poland and/or a sea invasion from Turkey/Romania would be a whole other thing, but I don’t really think they are going to do that. Hey – they might.

Washington’s continued support for Kiev during Moscow’s military operation has put the US on the verge of becoming party to the Ukrainian conflict, Russia’s deputy Foreign Minister, Sergey Ryabkov has said.
“We don’t want escalation. We’d like to avoid a situation, in which the US becomes a party to the conflict, but so far we don’t see any readiness of the other side to take these warnings seriously,” Ryabkov told Rossiya 1 TV channel on Friday.
Moscow rejects Washington’s explanation, that providing Ukraine with weapons and other aid is justified by Kiev’s right to self-defense, he pointed out.
“Excuse me, what kind of self-defense is it if they are already openly talking about the possibility of attacking targets deep in the Russian territory, in Crimea?” the deputy FM wondered.
According to Ryabkov, such statements are being made by the Ukrainian side “not just under the blind eye of the US and NATO, but with the encouragement of this kind of sentiment, approaches, plans and ideas directly from Washington,” Ryabkov insisted.
Yes. Every decision made by the Kiev revolutionary government since the 2014 Western-backed coup has been at the very least “encouraged” by Washington, and I would go so far as to say “dictated” by Washington.
“The ever more obvious and deeper involvement in Ukraine in terms of countering our military operation, in fact, puts this country, the US, on the verge of turning into a party to the conflict,” he reiterated.
The US has been the strongest supporter of Kiev amid its conflict with Russia, providing Kiev with billions of dollars in military and financial aid, as well as intelligence data. Washington’s deliveries to the Ukrainian military have included such sophisticated hardware as HIMARS multiple rocket launchers, M777 howitzers and combat drones.
Reuters reported on Friday that US President Joe Biden is about to announce another lethal aid package for Kiev of around $800 million.
An unnamed official from the Biden administration told Politico on Thursday that the White House had no problem with Ukraine attacking Crimea, which became part of Russia after a 2014 referendum staged in response to a violent coup. The US believes that Kiev can strike any target on its territory, and “Crimea is Ukraine,” the American official insisted.
The US went over and started bullying China, trying to provoke a war there. You wouldn’t think they would do that if they were planning a ground and/or sea invasion of the Ukraine.
Also, at this point, I don’t see why China wouldn’t commit troops to help Russia. Especially after that bizarre Nancy Pelosi invasion of China – there is definitely a good chance China would commit troops to help Russia.
It would make more sense that there would be serious civil unrest in the rest of Europe when the winter comes and people are told to freeze for Democracy Ukraine, and the US would then have to end the conflict by surrendering to Russia.
The thing is, these people running the US government are so out of control, and so dumb, that you can’t really count on them to do or not do anything. It’s impossible to make predictions, as these Brandon people have proved they are not rationally acting in their own interests.
