At the strategic level, Russia regards the United States as its principal enemy. After all, without US backing, NATO would be hard pressed to block Russian expansion.
Since Europe in the aggregate is a massive economic and technological power and the cultural heartland of Western civilization, we fought two World Wars and the Cold War and formed NATO for the sake of Europe's freedom and security. And with NATO and Europe's security at stake in Ukraine's fight against Russian invasion, our interests are also at stake in that fight. If the Russian invasion of Ukraine fails, Europe's security and freedom and ours improve considerably.
You are, of course, not obliged to agree with any of that, but I hope that I have made a clear enough case to allow you to understand why and NATO we are helping Ukraine.
I understand the sides of the equation but I don’t agree how they’re going about settling matters because there’s far too many parties entangled with Ukraines mess....and it is Ukraines mess regardless who they allow to manage their affairs. They certainly don’t handle their own affairs without being in constant conflict within and without...and because they don’t they suck in and create problems for the world.
