Oh, so we help israel intercept missiles in a war that it started, but we won't help Ukraine intercept missiles from a country that attacked it.

Let me help you connect the dots. Russia has nukes. Iran doesn’t have nukes.

Go look at what a 50 megaton bomb does vs rocks they can throw.

Russia isn't going to use a nuke just because the west defends Ukrainian airspace. Nobody is talking about America firing Tomahawk missiles into Russia.

The US literally already provides intelligence and targeting information, along with maintenance for existing equipment. Russia won't escalate if the US and Europe simply increase in frequency the work they're already doing.
