That's a bit unfair, though, as Washington State is an internal subdivision. That's like asking an American where Galicia is (either the Spanish or the Ukrainian one).
And the US will not actively intervene in the Ukraine, since NATO, as an organizational entity, would probably be damaged badly. Most of Europe wants to stop the Russian Bear but also wants to keep the situation from escalating.
If the US pushed for an intervention against the opposition of key NATO members (after having done so so in Iraq), where would that leave NATO?
Anyway US already intervened in Ukraine several times. I just hope this will not become another Iraq.
