They fucked up Ukraine for like a 0.0001% chance at hurting Russia. They don't care for their own people, why would they give a shit about some ukrainians who they were probably making racist jokes about like a day prior to Feb 2022.
I think the chance was bigger than that and was real, after all in the past it's exactly what happened multiple times, most notably with Iraq. What really thrown the wrench in that plan was China actively working to oppose it and India using it for their own interests, and a lot of countries following such. I think US counted on China just doing nothing as and India actively joining USA.
India is especially interesting, since they don't even hide they will play both sides to get the most of it, as clearly seen in the last visit of Biden when he fawned to Modi like i never seen any US president fawn to any other head of state, but literally next day India announced they intensify dedollarisation - and what did US said about that? Nothing. Paper tigers.
I was exaggerating for effect, but very correct that it could have ended badly for Russia, but now the chances are very low and they are still trying to grind Ukraine into dust like a gambler chasing a bad bet.
I think here, the US is hoping that India will join a fight against China. Modi knows this and is using it to his advantage. That's why it's getting a hall pass.
India is playing it smart currently. Something that a lot of people expected and hoped EU to do, especially they would get a lot more leeway from US, but alas. History will remember it as a great opportunity for EU to rise but they blew it completely.
Yeah, a theory I heard is that because Europe as it is currently set up needs US support for its own imperialism. So it is in a bind between independence which would require new economic structures and its old ways of doing things with the US as lead bully.
Edit: it's also led by a bunch of compradors.
