Here's the thing:
As far as the average working class American is concerned, what's going on in the Ukraine isn't putting money in their pocket, food on the table or a roof over their heads, let alone decent bridges to drive over, clean water to drink, a fair justice system ... well, you get the picture.
So IMHO, it's all just a hangover from the old Cold War days. Maybe this time the idiots on all sides will finally get to shoot off all those nifty "tactical nukes" or test out all the advancements in naval, air and ground weapons technology. Of course, the drafted (Gee, I wonder how THAT will go over in America? Russians seem to have the right idea....get on the earliest train, plane, bus out of town.) soldiers will get the crap blown out of them (death, maimed, crippled, pstd, etc.), but those at home will thank them for their service, take up various collections and ignore the FACT that our gov't representatives bicker over administrative veteran funding and such.
And the Ukrainians will STILL have to deal with the neo-Nazi elements in their midst, along with all those nuke power plants and post invasion damage from being a proxy war location.
Yep, seems everything old is new again.
