#17 Why America Should NOT Be Involved in Ukraine

Recently, many Americans have rallied in defense of Ukraine following the Russian invasion. They have been posting things like Ukrainian flags adorned with hearts to express solidarity with the fighters and refugees affected by the conflict in Ukraine.
