View submission: How the West Was Lost
Your confusing fighting a war with supplying an ally, just one of many commitments. The US and Russia are in completely different positions, both in regards to the war itself, and to their geopolitical position and strength. The US is in an immensely advantageous position right now, with a roaring economy, massive resources at its disposal, its closest rival falling behind, and no direct foreign engagements, while Russia is bogged down in a conventional war with a, relatively speaking, small neighbour and incapable of doing almost anything else. Ukraine isn't even a particularly important issue to the US electorate.
They just aren't comparable countries at this time. Your position, and the author's, are completely backwards. The US is ascendant, while Russia treads water.
There's nothing here!
