On February 24, 2022, the Russian Federation launched an invasion into Ukraine where fighting continues to this day. The United States and its NATO allies have provided humanitarian aid and weapons to Ukraine for them to combat Russian forces but have been hesitant to send troops in, fearing that an escalation in the war could start World War III. In addition, the United States and its allies have also been hesitant to enforce a “no-fly zone” in Ukraine which would close the airspace over the country.
Discuss in detail whether the United States should send U.S. troops into Ukraine to assist Ukrainian forces in combating the Russian army and whether the U.S. should enforce a “no-fly zone” over Ukraine. In addition, state your thoughts on whether you think the sanctions applied by the United States on Russia are working and provide in detail your view on whether there were things the U.S. could have done preemptively that could have stopped Russia from invading Ukraine.
