We do, we just do it in other ways than just militarily. Countries that can defend themselves are usually better off economically than those that can't. Meaning hindering them economically, will harm them just as much in the long run.
What would the US gain by bringing troops into the situation in Ukraine? There is just far too much risk of a bigger war, so Russia will push more so they can grab some more land and US/NATO will not do anything forcibly to stop it. There is not any real gains for us to do anything to actually stop it. Russia will try to take more, most likely so they have more to bargain with if there is a deal made. Sadly Ukraine is the one in the middle that gets the shaft either way.
It's short term profits for Russia but in the long term it's going to hurt them a lot economically. Investors will see Russia as unpredictable and Europe will start looking elsewhere for gas. Russia still tries to play the game as if it were the old world and trying to rebuild their old empire land mass. The US understands you don't rule the world by colonialism of the old but rather you control the world economy by trade.
