You cannot escape 'global instability' by moving to a flyover state. Everything is connected, a few extra miles means nothing other than for few things like less noise pollution and urban crime. Every, little, thing you consume has a long supply chain of value add at each step, that's what makes it all work. The reason that we have to care about Ukraine, is because otherwise, we are faced with a mother Cold War. That is very bad. This war is a battle for the future of the world order, in which everyone is a part. An easy victory for Putin almost guarantees the Chinese Generals will be pushing for Taiwan and Xi will listen. A costly bloody failure an economic ruin and a political coup in Russia means Xi knows the price for failure in Taiwan will be his head, almost literally. Aside from geopolitics, there is a moral issue in all of these situations - Ukranians deserve to not live behind another Iron Curtain. Just like Poles, Czech, E. Germans etc..
