This is like saying the US has directly attacked Russian forces because some US citizens joined the Ukrainian military.

When unions started they fought back. No strike is illegal

I hope workers one day remembers that when unions started they weren’t legal. They became legal through the blood of workers.

In your scenario Vance would be the successor and MAGA would use the war to further their agenda. Kinda straightforward.

I’m unfamiliar with Russia’s succession rules but Putin has been consolidating power and murdering anyone with potential to be his successor for decades. I could see how that would destabilize Russia more than the US.

Plus the Russian war machine ia not doing great in Ukraine. Doubt they could threaten western Europe or the US in any meaningful capacity. Nukes are always an option

That’s a big problem for a nation’s food security

Makes a lot of sense to try and preserve the remaining 40% then

At the cost of their domestic food security.

Guess Americans can flee to Cuba
