Is Ukraine worth fighting for?

As everyone knows there is a nasty war of attrition going on in Ukraine and Ukraine tragically is losing about 10 soldiers for every 1 soldier that Russia is losing. That makes the war unsustainable but still the question remains "Is Ukraine worth fighting for". I honestly don't care which side 'wins' or which side 'loses. I simply prefer that the war stop immediately. It should never have started. That aside I was able to share a baptism event on the North Saskatchewan River here in Central Alberta. I traditionally associate Ukrainians with the Orthodox or Catholic tradition but this was a Pentecostal service. There were about 100 military age Ukrainian refugees at the service. I didn't get much of what was being said as the service was in Ukrainian led by a pastor who left Ukraine 2 years ago. Most everyone there had left in a similar time frame. Everyone I spoke to said that they did not want to return to Ukraine. Oh and most of them had their wife and children with them. Interesting times we live in. I wonder what it must be like in Poland and Germany where many more Ukrainians are taking refuge.

@BijouPleasurette so you just confirmed you don’t look at history, I’m afraid in this case, you do need to go back to 2014, and the Maidan coup, America are in that up to their armpits,

@ididntknow Is that meant to be a follow-up comment to my "I don't think anything significant was happening in Ukraine that long ago. This feud they have with Putin has been going on about a year and a half"? You've posted it as a new answer to the main question and now it looks out of context.

@BijouPleasurette Forgot it, you obviously aren’t capable of looking at the bigger picture, that’s called ignorance, you you seem to be happy in your ignorance, good luck

@ididntknow OK, if that's the way you feel.

@ididntknow Technically go back to 2008 then 2014. The US has a long and storied history of making its friends dead. Ukraine is just the latest case. As the old saying goes "Having the US as you enemy is dangerous. Having the US as your friend is DEADLY!". The US is only interested in things that matter to the US. Thus getting Ukraine to fight a proxy war with Russia is a win win situation. The US gets to get rid of its obsolete armements and replace them with new toys and it gets to weaken the state is so desires for its wealth. That state being Russia. The US made one small miscalculation. Russia is much more than Spain with a gas station. It is likely the most militarily advanced nation on earth and is destroying the US weaponry like some red neck crushes Bud Lite beer cans.
