This does seem to be his political issue of the week. Any support is welcome, but I'm not sure if we can rely on him for it, and no, it's not a good idea to get directly involved, and he knows it.

It's worthwhile considering the effect of a russian victory. Look at the effect 1.6 million Syrian refugees had on the EU. They fueled exit movements in multiple nations, which Brexit quieted down. They pushed far right parties to the forefront, damaged cohesion and threatened the Union. What would 6 or 7 million pissed off, betrayed, often veteran, Ukrainian refugees do to the cohesion of the EU? It's not a war that Ukraine would lose alone. France is showing the urgency of response the entire democratic world needs to show.

If you're talking about getting directly involved, what would the effects of a nuclear exchange be on European unity?

We nuke together we die together

@Noodle07 @CanadaPlus The same as it would quickly be for the population of Canada.

That is, bad. To be clear, I'm pointing out why that's a bad idea. The rules of cold warfare are pretty established now, let's follow them.
