I mean the first issue here is that you think the US government actually gives a shit about humanitarian things; they're doing this because it'll be beneficial to them, not out of the goodness of their heart

you really need to understand that you can't take the US at its word when it says it's sending soldiers to another country for moral reasons

No country on the planet is any different. Just so happens the us is aligned with the global west in deciding to support Ukraine. That's just how it is.

At the same time NATO is consolidating membership, again, for geopolitical gain, not charity.

Welcome to reality. Declaring the US a sane geopolitical operator is not the hot take you think it is.
