What’s worse for America

I'm not saying America should be completely uninvolved. But it's ridiculous that America seems to be the front line when it comes to Russia. I would prefer the EU take the center stage and America be the one that "speaks softly and carries a big stick." If the EU completely fails to contain the situation, then we can step in with military force, but why is Biden, almost 5000 miles away, the front man to confronting Putin regarding a situation that should matter WAY more to the Europeans? If Russia takes Ukraine, they're right on Europe's doorstep. You'd think they'd have a vested interest in de-escalating all of this themselves. I'm so sick of America being the World Police (whether we want to be or not).
