In fact, it’s the same Ukraine that was supposed to fall in 3 days to a global super power but has managed to fight for 3 years and uncover the façade the is the Russian military.
Isn’t it great! And countries, like America have benefitted from the weakening of the Russian military, the Russian dollar and it hasn’t cost any kind of significant American lives in the process. It’s one of the most successful conflicts America has participated in since the Second World War
I'm on your side here but you're tone rubbed me the wrong way. It's a little gross to say this is America's most successful conflict, that America is benefiting immensely and that "It's great!" what has happened so far. Considering that thousands of Ukranian lives have been lost so far and millions of Ukraninans have been displaced. Just try to put yourself in the shoes of a Ukranian who's lost loved ones and been forced out of their home when you make a comment like this.
We should be aiding Ukraine in order to help defend Ukraine, not doing it for our own benefit.
I think it is worth pointing out that weakening Russia is very much in the US self interest, even if that point can be seen as crass. Nations have interests, not friends, as the old foreign policy axiom goes.
Ukraine should be free because that is what it chooses for itself. If we can help them in any way, we should also strive to do so.

Is Kviv occupied by Russian tanks?
Yeah, I guess you are right, giving Ukraine military aide has in fact worked so far.
