“ The U.S. Navy and Marines had their genesis in traveling across the Atlantic to fight the Islamic Barbary pirates, who were interfering with international shipping. So even in the early days of this nation, the need to protect America’s interests anywhere on the globe was well recognized.”

There are NO VITAL AMERICAN INTERESTS IN UKRAINE,
Sure there are: Getting someone else to kill Russians. The fewer Russians in the world, the better off the US is. Putin is helping a lot too.
I think you misunderstood my point. I agree with your statement 100%. Backing Ukraine falls squarely into the category of being the police force for the globalists, which I absolutely oppose.
Kicking Russian corruption and influence out of Europe is certainly a “vital American interest”. If you don’t believe me just ask those Americans in Texas with good new jobs exporting energy to Europe.
