The standoff between Ukraine and Russia is about more than just those two countries, it's about global security and an attempt to "rewrite rules on which the world is based", says Ukraine's minister of foreign affairs.
And he adds that's precisely why Americans should care.
Dmytro Kuleba estimates Russia has between 100,000 and 130,000 troops amassed at Ukraine's border and is capable of mounting an invasion at short notice.
Ukraine and the United States are threatening crippling sanctions if it does. Russian President Vladimir Putin is demanding that Ukraine never be allowed to join NATO.
While military forces are marshalling on both sides of the border, diplomatic efforts continue in an effort to diffuse the situation.

I don’t see where the US has a dog in the fight. The Prime Mnister of Ukraine basically told Biden to shut up. Germany isn’t interested in NATO being involved. Current talks are between Ukraine, Germany, France and Russia. So the USA and NATO are cut out
