Other than the loss of Ukrainian lives (which is absolutely terrible but our politicians really do not give a flying flip about), the only threat related to the US, by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, is the interruption of the US's money laundering operation that goes on through a country as historically corrupt as Ukraine. It takes a good long while to set up a really good, large scale system, in order to have all the relevant players involved (those that are necessary to facilitate a quick reliable return of the cash to those that are involved), agreed to set rates of commission/handling loss,etc and that's the real threat that the politicians are concerned about in Ukraine. If Putin were to take control, the scale of the whole operation is automatically reduced to zero. Putin would dang sure take a kickback or cut but we dont send monetary aide to Russia. Rest assured, this is the only reason that our government officials care at all about Ukraine.

Not to make light of the Ukrainian's situation which is certainly terrible but, China's genocide against the Uyghurs, from a loss of life/humanitarian standpoint makes Russia's Ukraine invasion (I agree it is totally wrong) look like the Ukranians are spending a day at the county fair. The Uyghurs just wanted to create their own state, similar to Taiwan. Everyone mentions it occasionally, but where's the political uproar over that, like there is about Ukraine? Millions of Uyghurs killed, millions detained without trial and placed in camps, millions forced into slave labor, hundreds of thousands of children separated from their parents, indoctrination camps, mass sterilizations, on and on. Not a priority for politicians because there is no money to be siphoned off or made there. Always follow the money when it comes to politics and why certain places seem to be more important to politicians than other places.
