We should’ve split Ukraine with Russia and made a new state, and avoided a potential war with a nuclear power, since Ukraine destroyed all their nukes after listening to pacifists. Ukraine BTW spent the cold war manufacturing hydrogen bombs to drop on US cities, so really who cares who wins so long as we don’t get involved

Ukraine was formed by such an agreement which was subsequently violated by Russia. Why do you think another would result in different outcomes?
We care because countries with freedom support each other, because it is the right thing to do morally. Would you rather have authoritarians take over more of the world?

Or not being evil and actually liberating Ukraine and rest of the Eastern Europe after defeating Germany in WW2...

After hanging children from lamp posts and the rape of Berlin the allies figured out they weren't morally superior, gave up and went home
Would you rather let bullies win and get their way?
