instead of making this look like the US vs Russia?

That only looks that way to you if you're just watching Russian propaganda and ignoring the UK, France, virtually the entire European Union except shithole Germany, Hungary, and Italy, all of the Eastern stations (Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Estonia), South Korea, Japan, Australia, etc.

There are even former Japanese SDF members fighting as volunteers in Ukraine.

As for the UN, I've never given a damn about the worthless UN, but as it happens, the general assembly already voted against Russia and demanded the end of hostilities in Ukraine. I don't think more than that is possible unless Russia is removed from the UN, along with the ChiComs.

I am not sure how much world support you need to see before stopping with the "it's the US vs. Russia" nonsense.

“That only looks that way to you if you’re just watching Russian propaganda....”

Not hardly. I am not going to play the game of “proving up” one’s bona fides that one is not a Putinista dupe / Russia sympathizer. The fact that Russia does not want direct US military opposition to its invasion does not mean American citizens opposed to a US war in Ukraine are dupes of Russian propaganda or Putinistas b/c they too do not want to be involved in the Ukraine.

The US has a history of with great Americans who see the wisdom of avoiding foreign alliances ... George Washington memorialized this in his farewell address about the dangers of such alliances and foreign entanglements. The US changed with Wilson and WW1, the person whose 1916 campaign slogan was ironically “He kept us out of war.” This belief in keeping US out of foreign wars was so ingrained that FDR did not have an easy time to get US involved in WW2, and despite the victory and global superpower status in WW2, the US rapidly demobilized its military immediately afterwards as a reflection of US not being involved in foreign wars.

One can fast forward to the fall of Afghanistan when after 20 years, it was exposed as nothing more than a federal givernment borrowing and spending trillion dollars with 20 years of lies about the Afghanis’ progress toward self-government and an ability to stand on its own - only to see the Afghani grifters / hucksters with foreign bank accounts leave the country faster than crap through a goose and leaving billions of advanced US weaponry to our enemies. Don’t think for a nano second that Putin did not see how Trojan horse Xiden did not rise to the occasion to protect US interests - advanced military equipment, a US military base / runway, US citizens in Afghanistan. This Xiden is the loser, a fist-clenching, vulgar man of short temper - who tells outright lies about himself (most recently at the US Naval Academy graduation) - who is not up to the mental and physical demands of the job, ... to lead US into a potential war with Russia. Trust him? Not me.

You haven’t convinced me that the principle you espoused is connected to a vital US national interest in Ukraine, nor that Trojan horse Xiden is capable mentally and physically of leading the US in this foreign issue with a high probability of success. As bad as the UN is, he should have used it like HW and W to shape world opinion or give some patina of legitimacy - call it UN anti-Russia “propaganda” tool at worst. You are free to believe whatever you want about me and those with whom you disagree - but at least have some proof.
