Another implication could be that General Elections are due on both sides of the Atlantic next year and the existing leaders probably feel they need to be seen to be doing something by giving this conflict extensive attention and not necessarily because they might have some kind of hidden agenda for full-on military intervention, etc.
If anything, they're probably trying to seek peace.
Perhaps you may have misunderstood some of the articles you've watched on CNN a little, especially as it can sometimes be difficult to make sense of stuff through all the noise (both auditory and visual). Also here in the UK there's still no talk of 'Protect And Survive' being brought back either.
Plus, while I don't in any way intend to be patronising, you seem to be the only person on here (so far) who seems to be so embroiled in all of this but barely a peep from certain others on here who have historically got the willies from stuff like this, including at the start of the Ukraine conflict in February last year.
