There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Why doesn't Russia declare war on the US after all the Military Aid being sent to Ukraine?

They can hardly fight the war they are in, what would the point of getting the biggest military power on the planet involved directly?

Russia has not a sliver of a chance fighting the US in a conventional war and nobody wants a nuclear war.

Yeah, at this point Russia wouldn't even stand against Europe, let alone America's toy box of death. The only thing keeping everyone is the danger of nukes, because that's somebody nobody wants to risk even if we have meassures. You never know what could happen. But a conventional war? nah.

Upvoted for "toy box of death".

Right? I mean, even our hand-me-downs to our allies are solid. That’s proven. Ain’t no kill like overkill is the defense contractor motto and they deliver.
