We've seen a lot of silly reasons for the US to get involved in the Russo/Ukie conflict.
But this one takes the cake:
...there is another factor that ought to be considered: Ukraine’s fight also involves the security of the Catholic Church in Eastern Europe. The fate of the Roman and Byzantine Catholic churches in Ukraine rests upon the outcome of the war. For one, should Ukraine utterly collapse, history suggests that Russia will attempt once again to suppress the Byzantine Catholic church, which is the majority religion in Ukraine’s western regions (Lviv is its “capital” city)....
The author, a professor of history, apparently thinks that the USA should become The Crusaders. One wonders how the typical Southern Methodist E-5 feels about dying for Catholicism in a land about which most US citizens do not give a flying damn.
Perhaps the Professor was asked to write the silliest-possible column on the Ukraine kerfuffle? That would explain it.
