So it's no further from US bases than EU bases.
> Both Ukraine and Russia share borders with EU member states.
And Russia is a two mile walkable ice bridge from the US in winter.
> If we EU member states didn't get involved when we saw a fight right in front of us, the threat of us getting involved in a fight thousands of miles away isn't very credible as a deterrent.
Distance isn't the issue. EU countries/NATO will bomb any puny country armed with obsolete weapons, wherever it is.
What the US and EU will never do is get into a fight with a nuclear armed superpower.
