  No, the US will not retaliate. The man did good work and deserves respect, but he wasn't there under the auspices of the United States Government. >
  
  The work the American was doing is also a big part of the lack of retaliation. Operating in/around a warzone has certain risks that this person willingly accepted. Would be different if it was "bus of American tourists in Eastern Poland". >
  
  Even that would probably not trigger a US response as silly as it sounds. Seems the US is very happy to have Ukraine fight Russia and just provide Intel and munitions etc. US involvement would likely trigger nuclear response. >
  
  This calls for f-16's being delivered to Ukraine
