Why does it matter to the American people what happens to Poland in WW2?

Do you think we exist in a vacuum? The whole reason we have foreign policy is because there are major dire ramifications to conflicts across the world. Especially, as we've seen the past century, in Europe.



Is Ukraine like Poland, or more like Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan?


What is the basis of this analogy? Is it implying that the difference between North Korea and South Korea is negligible to the world?


Very different type of war... Especially Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan...


Ukraine checks all the boxes for exploration by Oligarchs, North Korea does not. Kuwait had oil, Iraq


Ukraine is literally the middle of Europe. Those countries are not. You're shilling very hard for russia.


No personal attacks, please, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are.
