I have never thought of the usa helping ukraine because they are interested in ukranian peoples lives. I see them fighting because gaining an ally with great resources and an excellent geographic position is important to maintain power.

They are also testing the new way of running a war between first world armies.

Perhaps I'm wrong but this war benefits american interests beyond being world police.
