Weeks have passed since the crisis in Ukraine began. Each nation pledged to support Ukraine in its own way to help Ukraine and its people get out of this crisis that began after a massive protest toppled the pro-Russian president from Kiev. The promised aid is aimed at helping Ukraine get out of the crisis and build a democratic and stable Ukraine in the near future. But despite aid support, not all nations have the same idea about how to help overcome the problem the country is facing. In particular, the European Union, Russia and the United States are very involved in the Ukrainian issue from the beginning. The Russians have already deployed their troops to Crimea to protect the ethnic Russian population living in the region. The United States and the European Union, however, are totally against Russian involvement in the Ukrainian issue and have threatened to impose sanctions on Russia. Recently, the United States moved its warship to the Black Sea peninsula, raising an important question: Should America ever engage militarily to help the Kiev government push Russian troops out of Crimea? Many critics have expressed their opposition to any type of military interference by the United States. Even the GOP, which is close to taking military action for any threat against America's interests, or its allies are not as supportive this time, although there are still some hardline Republicans who would support military involvement. I believe that any type of military intervention would be a costly move for America as it could cause long-term war, economic damage, and loss of life. Military involvement in Ukraine could lead the United States to engage in a long-term war with Russia. The interim government in Kiev would like to have American military support... middle of paper... the idea of ​​trying diplomatic solutions to find common ground that satisfies both the peoples of the region and the international community.
