    This is such a weird restriction. Vietnam was a proxy war between the US and the Soviets, and both had boots on the ground. Nobody was particularly concerned this would cause WW3. Why is Ukraine different? Of course, I am not advocating a fully armed confrontation, but Western elite troops that can mark targets, take out key operatives, and direct troops? I don’t see the issue.

      US weapons weren’t landing on strategic Russian assets inside territory that Russia claimed as it’s own. That’s why no one was overly concerned about nuclear escalation or WW III.

        Here I am talking about Western troops that would be active in Ukraine, not Russia.
