Depends on the conflict and the ally
This is highly dependent on the conflict and the ally in question. I've seen a lot of people reference Ukraine. Ukraine is not a NATO country and we've already gone way beyond what we are required to do for them. The US should cut off the aid to Ukraine completely and not get involved further in that conflict. If however Russia attacked an actual NATO country, then the US should get involved. I've seen several conditionals on this point, mainly concerning whether NATO countries are upholding their end of the NATO agreement to spend at least 2% of their GDP on military. While I do think we should put more pressure on NATO countries to meet that obligation that they have agreed to, I think it would set a very bad precedent if we were to not help them if they were attacked by Russia.

It depends on what that ally is and what we have promised in aid to those countries. But I think that the minimum should be aiding with funds, resources, and weapons, to help the ally in their war effort.
@9LJ2Q6WConstitution1mo1MO
I think we should help where we can.
@9LJ2BV51mo1MO
I think they should if we have an agreement with them
@9LHZWXXRepublican1mo1MO
we need to either stop sending money or send troops
@9LHZNPDRepublican1mo1MO
I believe that America comes first if the odds are uncertain I believe that we should pull out from supporting a country. We have spent too much money on other foreign affairs while people in our own country are suffering from homelessness, and other social issues.
@9LHZ5KH1mo1MO
We should aid our allies as long as the country continues to be our ally
@9LHZ4TJ1mo1MO
Keep to given commitments, but keep in mind George Washington's final address.
@9LJ2TX91mo1MO
You should not support the wrong side in the story ,and target civilians
For example, Joe Biden gave Ukraine billions of dollars to help with the war they were in. I feel like it a sap in the face to Americans who are struggling with homelessness, poverty etc
@9LJ54KG1mo1MO
All the way, protect countries like Ukraine.
@9LJ3S8W1mo1MO
having allies significantly increases the military power the United States can bring to bear on a given battlefield. During the Cold War, European forces were vital to maintaining something approximating a balance of power vis-à-vis Warsaw Pact forces.
