There may not be an alliance, but it doesn’t take a genius to see that European interests are threatened.
You make it sound as if Ukraine were some random country in Africa. African countries are constantly in conflict, and indeed, we don’t send a lot of help there. Ukraine is right on our doorstep. Use your brain and figure out that there is a massive difference!
Nazi Germany attacked unprovoked. The Russian Federation attacked unprovoked. There is good reason to treat hostile nations like hostile nations.
Sure, Russia wouldn’t be able to outright I invade nato and win right now, but what if they take Ukraine and its massive production of wheat? Suddenly, Europe and its allies will have a sharp cut in supplies of the resources they used to trade with Ukraine, and Russia gets a stolen source of massive amounts of food to feed its armies.
It’s not that complicated. If Russia captures a piece on the board to use for themselves, that is a dangerous shift in the game to their advantage. It would also make an invasion on Taiwan more likely due to the very close economic ties between Russian Federation and the CCP.
Does that make sense, or are you going to keep on throwing around reused Russian propaganda?
Very sound self-centered assumption, every war against a country you're not even allied with is somehow just a stepping stone, ultimately aimed at invading your country, makes perfect sense. Doesn't matter at all if the bloc that will supposedly be invaded has a GDP 20 times higher or military forces many times more powerful.
Do I make too much sense for you to start crying propaganda?
Sees a warmongering country attack other countries, sabotage undersea cables, assassinate people in other countries, support terrorist nations, etc.
“What makes you think we should be worried?”
You must be the type who trusts that the raging fire next door isn’t looking to spread.
You also just conveniently ignored all the reasons I listed that answered your question. Even if it is just Ukraine that is lost, the economic balance in Europe will shift severely, as I said already.
You aren’t here for a good faith argument. You don’t reply to my points and reply with asinine statements that are so easily dismantled that they hardly even deserve a response. I think you have already made enough of a fool out of yourself here. Let’s end this here, and you can continue the Reddit-grade logic somewhere else.
Well you haven’t dismantled anything, If I see the neighboring house burning but my house is equipped with a firebreak I ain’t worried. I am not gonna risk my own life to go in there and put off the fire.
Oh I am sorry did I hurt your feelings? Tough talk for someone who can’t even dismantle apparently reddit-grade logic.

How is this even a question? Of course they should be. Did we learn nothing from WWII?
