Russia is a republic, so it has a president, not a king. It did have a Tsar, similar to a King, up to 1917.
When Germany declared war on France and Russia in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson maintained a position of neutrality for the United States. He believed that the U.S. should avoid involvement in the European conflict and focus on diplomatic solutions. Wilson emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and avoiding entanglement in foreign wars, reflecting the isolationist sentiment prevalent among many Americans at the time. However, this stance would eventually shift as the war progressed and circumstances changed.
War in the USA can be declared by Congress but must be ratified by the president.
