You're not wrong, but I would say that the US should not be getting involved with the immediate neighbors of a powerful country like Russia. It just seems to me like a very aggressive policy, where the potential downsides outweigh the upsides. Upsides: S&P 500 execs get bigger bonuses because they captured the Ukraine market. Downsides: conflict with a great power.

Although it should be said that the US has a history there too. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapester_Memorandum https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapester_Memorandum Ukraine had a revolution that did violate their constitution, but that is a technicality. Russia proposed the successor government to be illegitimate. A mistake of the US under Bush certainly was to get involved there.
