How about you tell us what you think the appropriate response the US should have towards this state of affairs.
As I have said before, and obviously you missed it, to do nothing. This isn't our fight...
That wasn't the US position when Ukraine gave up its nuclear arsenal and the US, UK, and Russia all formally promised in the Budapest Memo to guarantee the security of Ukraine in exchange for that agreement. You can argue that the commitment is now null and void, as Russia did, but it is still there for us. Both the UK and the US have a clear obligation to support Ukraine's struggle to remain independent of Russia.
