And the US did not have interests in Ukraine? As if the past two decades never happened?

The US had no interests in Ukraine, it had no interest in Iraq, it had no interest in Kuwait, it had no interest in Vietnam, etc.

Ukraine was a member of the Soviet Union since 1917. Was it hurting America to not have Ukraine as an “ally” that whole time? Clearly not!

Not sure if sarcasm or some type of counterfactual history?

It does not matter how we ended up here, but we have an obligation to select for the least bad outcome.
