An increasing number of Americans want Joe Biden to encourage Israel to stop military actions in Gaza; and Mr. Biden’s handling of the situation is now down to its lowest levels yet.

In the poll, conducted before Iran’s drone and missile attack on Israel, there wasn’t much clamor among the U.S. public for U.S. military action against Iran, were Iran to strike Israel. More would instead have the U.S. support Israel’s next actions.

        Except every time Ukraine attempted to join NATO, Russia attacks them. A nation at war is ineligible for NATO admission. It’s no accident. Putin does not want to share a border with a NATO ally.

          They don’t need to be in NATO for us to store weapons there. We have plenty of bases in non NATO countries. We’ve even had bases in countries the Russians invaded. (Georgia, 2008)

          But also, NATO doesn’t actually have that as a hard rule. There’s been debate about it and NATO Members are wary of such a member pulling everyone into a war right away, but there’s nothing stopping them from doing it.

      We don’t have a base full of munitions in Ukraine

      No, Ukraine just sits right next to the largest military logistics machine in human history on it’s western border.
