Tensions between Russia and Ukraine have started to escalate again following new security demands from Russia this week. The demands included wanting NATO to “pull troops and weapons from eastern Europe,” reports Reuters, as well as ban Ukraine from joining. Russian President Vladimir Putin has also deployed more than 100,000 troops and is performing military exercises on Ukraine’s land and sea borders, The New York Times reports. This is no ordinary exercise either; both Defense Department officials and experts on Russia have warned that a Russian invasion of Ukraine “has potential to start a conflict between Moscow and the West that could quickly escalate.”
Whether the United States gets involved with the conflict has been the topic of heated debate across the internet and news talk shows this week as pundits weigh in with their opinion. So far, the State Department has only warned families of Americans working at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, to evacuate and urged U.S. citizens not to travel to Ukraine. Fox News host Tucker Carlson is one of the loudest pro-Russia, anti-war voices on the right and has been for some time. Three years ago, of the conflict happening between Russia and Ukraine, Carlson asked, “Why do I care … what is going on in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia? And I’m serious. Why do I care? Why shouldn’t I root for Russia, which I am?”
