While Trump sanctioning countries for buying Russian oil and then doing a volte face is typical American hypocrisy (lost on the voting public), the fact remains that there is no reason for the rest of the world to pay for the Ukraine Russia war.
It is a local skirmish that should be settled locally. The only reason it's a big deal is that Europe sees Russia as a threat, the old cold war mentality persists in some Americans who also see Russia as a threat, and that's why billions are being spent to fight Putin by proxy.
It is not an issue for the rest of the world.
America and the CIA should've stayed out of Ukraine in 2013.
The hopelessness of getting an unbiased perspective on Ukraine is apparent when you search for books on the Euromaidan revolution of 2013-14 on Amazon. All of them written by Brit or American journalists presenting the revolution as a purely organic movement while ignoring the pro-Yanukovich counterrevolution going on in Eastern Ukraine at the time.
