What's funny here is that every US proxy thinks they're gonna get the full backing of the US once shit hits the fan. Ukrainians totally thought that NATO would fight for them when they got into a war with Russia. Now it's Europeans thinking that they're indefensible and that the US will totally fight along side them when the time comes.
I don't think it's ever completely out of the question for the U.S. to get involved, and it's arguably more likely this time than any. But regardless, I agree with you that that chances of the U.S. actually getting involved are extremely miniscule. It's proxies will be left holding the bag, and the U.S. has no use to waste resources in a war it would lose, and save it's technology, manpower and aggression for it's imperial hold back home.
Exactly, the whole point of having proxies is that they're expandable. The US would get involved up to the point where it feels like it's too much of a commitment for them. They're not gonna suffer the consequences of all this.
