Right or wrong, Russia has an interest in not letting the USA have a staging ground for military action right on his border.
Recall that the USA is a country which has invaded Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan, all of which are countries that do not border the United States and which have no substantial US population. Ukraine at least has actual ethnic Russians who speak Russian there. Obviously this is part of the great game of chess that all world powers play, but it's lunacy for representatives of the USA to try to convince me, the tax payer, that my money should pay to kill people in another country because I'm supposed to believe this week's Voldemort-Hitler is carrying out his own USSR flavored invasion of Poland.
