> If orange man wins my children won't go die for Ukraine? This is a bad thing?

We were never sending American troops to Ukraine. What has happened is the chances of American troops having to go somewhere else in the world, or being directly attacked overseas, has gone way up.

What is OP suggesting we do then? We've given Ukraine billions in money and resources, the only other thing left is boots on the ground, no?
> We've given Ukraine billions in money and resources

On a drip feed. That means when a strategic opening emerges, e.g. Russian warships within Storm Shadow range, they got one or two pot shots off before running out of ammo, letting the Russians retreat and adapt.

Ukraine needs more air-defence batteries and ammunition. It needs F-16s. (For both offense and defense.) And it needs the ability to strike valid military targets in Russia, the way it has been doing with its own weapons, the way Russia has been doing to it.

>billions in money and resources

31 Abrams and 190 Bradleys, zero planes, zero cruise missiles. All while there are 3 million DPICM, thousands of Bradleys and hundreds of ATACMS waiting to be scrapped in US, all decommissioned and on a list to be send to expensive recycling.

If Orange Man wins your children won't see the US with the number of friends and influence it used to have.

And this isn't a patronizing statement - it's literal. The US has allies and friendly nations who are aligned with the US because they want to, not because they are forced to, or compelled by treaties.

In my country, an old dictator used to say: Orgulhosamente sós.

Are you seriously implying that Biden will institute the draft?
No, I assume op wanted boots on the ground for Ukraine. I'm not sure what else is left considering the billions in support we've given them, which I do support.
I simply think the US should send old unwanted equipment and air defense weaponry to Ukraine. Not boots in the ground or anything even close to that.

Russia is ripping Ukraine apart because they don't have air defense missiles left.

Volunteer military can still die.
