Perhaps the question should be, "Will Biden be able to prevent it?"

Perhaps the question should be, "Will Biden be able to prevent it?" My understanding is various American veterans are already going over to help. But since its not official, its OK. There was an article on Syria comparing it to Ukraine, and sadly they had a valid point. Same aggressor, but different perception by the world. European whiteness next to NATO countries more sympathetic than Syria's brown-ness.

I would include myself in that.

Perhaps the question should be, "Will Biden be able to prevent it?" well, they can't really go to war without him. so, yes, he CAN. edit: if he really wanted to FORCE the issue, he could call on congress for a declaration of war.
