As for NATO support; obviously they're not doing everything possible to support Ukraine, because the US doesn't want to compromise their own military in any way. They want to maintain the redundancy to be able to successfully fight a 2 or 3 theatre conventional war, and they're not going to give that up. And despite their rhetoric, that was basically always the game plan. They want to weaken Russia as cheaply as possible while limiting the chance of the war spreading outside of Ukraine and Russia.
Yeah, it's depressing and super cynical, but that's basically how superpowers work.

Yup, pretty much.
We'll all feel better when the finish line to this stupid conflict approaches it's end. The day Ukraine joins NATO (or frankly, has a nuclear deterant) will be a huge sigh of relief.
