American Action Just Prolonging Awful Wars

America has passed a bill to release £49 billion to Ukraine which the UK Foreign Secretary, David Cameron, called: 'a vital step forward'.
The US House of Representatives also approved bills to send foreign aid to Israel and provide humanitarian relief to Palestinians in Gaza which puts them in the bizarre position of financially backing the nation which is responsible for the Palestinians needing humanitarian relief in the first place.
Why they are supporting one nation which has been brutally invaded by Russia whilst also supporting Israel who are the invaders and actually committing genocide is some twisted logic but while the
conflicts may physically be a thousand miles away from each other, this action will have the same effect of prolonging both these horrific atrocities.
Yet despite 32,000 deaths in the Ukraine conflict and over 34,000 in the Palestinian, Israeli war, the money and arms to continue the fighting does not come with any for stipulations for making peace
in either of the battles where Ukraine is vastly outnumbered and outgunned and Israel has reduced Gaza to rubble and seem intent on destroying what's left with no thought to the slaughter of people they have been actively trying to destroy for the last 65 years.
Why are the American Government, and most of the West, so keen to keep Ukraine and Israel fighting rather than using whatever leverage they have to at least try and bring an end to the wars?
Joe Biden’s embrace of Netanyahu and his government won' t restrain him, he has destroyed Gaza and acted a genocide against the Palestinian people and yet still he can rely on Biden for financial backing while Ukrainians continue to die in a war that they cannot win.
Nobody seems to be offering an end game to either side and handing over weapons and bankrolling one nation to kill more of another nation makes me very uneasy while i have yet to hear of anyone making any overtures of peace talks to end the carnage.

the US is taking care of the US, just like the uk took care of the uk when it was still a player.

the US is using Israel to keep iran, saudi arabia, and turkey in a struggle for regional power, thus neutralizing them all.

the US is using Ukraine to accelerate the decline of russia, while at the same time getting europe to start taking care of itself for the first time in 75 years. let germany, france, et al pay for their own defense. it shouldn't be that hard now that russia and china are on the verge of severe decline. if the uk has too big of an ego to admit their dependence on the US, then ditto for the uk... align with the eu... and good luck
