Anyway, it's not a valid comparison when we're actively refusing to get involved in the conflict in any way that would risk our imperial interests.

I specifically excluded Japan. In theory US could have went to war with it while ignoring Europe. I doubt most people in Southeast Asia were particularly concerned about Germany, if anything it made their path to independence more straightforward
the wolves came regardless. The west's help is no altruism, but it is also what ukraine would need (and more).
> Propping up a defense industry that's feeling the lack of demand; forcing europe to coalesce around the us instead of china; restricting european access to cheap russian gas
trying to frame it as some sort of american conspiracy to power grab is either you propogating mis/disinformation/propaganda, or just utterly stupid to the point of an own goal (assuming you're aligned with the west).
