Doesn't matter if US has any keen interests or not.
This Russian Invasion of Ukraine is no different than Iraq's Invasion of Kuwait.
The only difference is the attacker is a permanent member on the UN Security Council.
Otherwise something similar to Resolution 678 would have already been underway.
But then the US went and really FUCKED UP, when they Bush Jr invaded Iraq in 2003 and ignored the UN Security Council

And showed Putin that the US/UK won't play by the rules, so now he has also ignored those rules ever since.
It is different. Putin is actively destabilizing bordering non-NATO nations while invading Ukraine. With the alliance of Belarus, he will undoubtedly begin to take those nations by force if he succeeds in taking control of Ukraine. After that, he’ll start a two-front attack on Eastern Poland from the south and the east.
I know that all sounds like crazy speculation. Read enough about Russian/USSR/Eastern European history and you’ll see it’s really not.
Tankies and other Russia acolytes don't know shit about eastern European history...
Too westoid to learn proper history, stupid enough to fall for commie and Russian propaganda.
