    Same reason even major powers like Germany coordinate with the US when it comes to giving Ukraine weapons: the US is the only country in the world at the moment that is completely invincible, so having it share the responsibility is a good idea

        Defending and attacking are two different things. I meant the US cannot be defeated by an attacker.

          then Russia makes a better example of a invincible empire.

          Sweden, France, Germany have all tried at their peak strength to conquer Russia and failed.

          USA with its geographical isolation has been lucky in that regard.

                Russians aren’t more expendable than any other human being. They’re just being treated as such by their fascist regime. I know it’s easy to start thinking badly of all of them because of the idiotic war, but they’re human beings too. The ones outside of the kremlin at least.
