If Russian invaded Ukraine, would you favor or oppose war against Russia?

[Admiral Yi]

Let the people speak.

I'm asking if your country should ride to Ukraine's rescue.

[Sheilbh]

No. Obviouly not. Ukraine isn't a NATO member and I think there's a lot of risk because I think winning matters more to Russia than the UK/West (obviously not Ukraine) so they may escalate with other actual NATO members on their borders (and who could say that'd be wrong) and they're a nuclear power.

We should however give Ukraine all the support we can to enable them to defend themselves - weapons, training, whatever other support we can. We should help Ukraine as much as possible, but not to the extent of mutual defence.

Edit: And we should make clear we're not interested in doing deals with Russia about Ukraine, if Ukrainian leaders aren't in the room. We are supporting a sovereign state.

[DGuller]

If Russia promises to keep it conventional, then definitely in favor.

[Jacob]

I'm in favour of Iran level sanctions + massive support for Ukraine and - if they lose, massive support for any insurgents rather than war.

I'm not opposed to war to the degree I was opposed to the wars in Iraq, but I don't think it's the right move.

[Valmy]

I am in favor of doing what the Soviets did to support North Korea in the Korean War, not so much what the Chinese did to support North Korea in the Korean War.

We should just give them tons of those attack drones and just blow all of Russia's shit up. Make it as expensive as possible.

[Josquius]

What Sheilbh says I guess. No thanks to ww3 though don't sell out Ukraine and by all means push the line of neutrality hard.
I very much doubt Russias invasion of Ukraine will be official anyway.

[The Brain]

Non-belligerent status seems reasonable for a small country. Send lots of aid to Ukraine.

[Barrister]

As a proud Ukrainian-Canadian... Canada should not "go to war" with Russia.  Even as a part of NATO we have little ability to project force to the region.

Full on economic blockade of Russia sounds just fine to me though.  Which I suppose could be seen as an act of war by the Russians, but no less so than Russia forcibly invading (again) a foreign country.

If Canada did go to war with Russia however, I would reluctantly but proudly volunteer.

The word of the west is already worth jack shit. China is winning the international game, we can't let Russia get away with anymore shit.

I've voted for war.

[OttoVonBismarck]

No, but I would be in favor of 1980s Soviet invasion of Afghanistan style covert weapons funneling and such, and obviously basically a severing of all U.S. economic ties with Russia, akin to Cold War footing. I'm honestly not sure we shouldn't already be on a cold war trade footing with Russia and China, to be frank (there would not be a simple or fast way to get there with China.)

[Razgovory]

I don't think the Soviets are going to invade Afghanistan again.

[OttoVonBismarck]

I don't think the Soviets are going to invade Afghanistan again.

Looks like your brain damage is flaring up again.

[Eddie Teach]

Why does the funneling need to be covert?

[Razgovory]

Why does the funneling need to be covert?

So the Ukrainians don't complain to us when we import a bunch of Afghanis to operate all the weapons we will be supplying.
